Hoping I secure work again soon to order one of the SP ones - I was going to kitbash a couple of Katos to get the right numberboard/door style combination, but this will be a thousand times better.

On the bright side, there is a company that has some really great GP30 design work that could be brought to N scale… https://www.scaletrains.com/ho-scale/ho-scale-locomotives/rivet-counter-ho-scale-emd-gp30.html

Hopefully my Super Toaster orders can fund the investment in bringing this to N scale.

Peace out

Someone had asked them at another show and it was confirmed they were bringing the GP30’s to N scale, but I guess the timing is to be determined. I just hope that run includes GP30u’s whenever they do that so I can get a pair to go with my Atlas GP40-2W’s for the shortline.
