Model Railroading > Intermountain Paducah GP10's

I received an email today from Intermountain that had new announcements. This time is included the long awaited Paducah built GP10's. Sadly for me, this run didn't include the Ohio Central.

Folks;

The new Intermountain GP 10 is very interesting...to say the least. Although it looks like this was a mid west prototype. Did any of these engines make it to the west coast on any short lines? Any info would be most appreciated. Thanks.

You're right, they were much more common on Midwestern and Southeastern railroads in normal road service, likely due to their low horsepower and normal aspiration, but the Paducahs went everywhere after the IC offloaded them. PSAP 1002 is the only example of one in road service on the West Coast shortline that I can come up with, but I'm betting there are a few others out west as industry switch engines through companies like RSSX, WRIX, PWSX, SVGX, and the like.

Man, I saw this on the IAIS list, and its going to be tough for me to avoid picking up one or two of the Chicago Central units. When I was a kid, they were just a block away from my front door, so I very well may have to pick up one or two of the red ones, along with an orange and white IC unit to patch.

Thanks, IM!

Pioneer Valley doesn't own any GP10's just CF7's and they use to have some Alco's and SW1's. They did have 2 Army units on the property used to train Army personal.

My LHS is taking reservations with a deadline end of May. Delivery is scheduled in December.
I have only very little experience with Intermountain's quantities at time of shipment. Is a reservation really advised or does Intermountain "usually" flood the market and large dealers like M.B. Klein will ship from stock without problems?

ps. No, I did intentionally not ask about the December date ;-)

With Intermountain, I would recommend making a reservation. They take advance orders to inform their production volume. They overproduce a bit, under the assumption there will be post-deadline orders, but popular items can and do sell out before anything is delivered. Dealers like MB Klein may reserve for stock, but then you're at the mercy of which roadnames they think will sell to their customers.

I would not rely on the December delivery date being kept. Everything I have reserved with them has showed up later than the initial projected delivery date.
