Incredible models, as seen at the 8/29/24 "Road Trip" event in St. Louis, hosted by Mississippi Valley N Scalers.

Why did you show those to me?  :facepalm:  The GP-30 is one of my favorite locos due to it’s distinctive look that wasn’t repeated on any subsequent locomotives. Those 2 units are $300 bucks in the DC versions which is very pricey but not more than most brass units. I’ve got a couple of the Atlas GP-30’s in my roster and they run good and look good enough for less than half the money, so I think I’ll be able to resist this purchase, but you didn’t make it easy.

You're not out of the woods yet grasshopper, have you seen BLI's flyer announcing that they are doing GP30s?
