Like all 3 sets, but as "JG", really gotta love those U30C's. Used to look for them at at Rutherford thru the years. Thanks for sharing. Ben

Those U30C's kinda look like U28C's based on the radiator design....

They were a cross between a U28 and a U30 which I didn’t notice until I had an HO model custom painted - kind of a U29C

Early U30C's used the same carbody as the U28C. The early U28C's used the same carbody style as that of U25C's and were indistingushable from one another also. Ben
