Wasn't Athearn the first one to offer an HO model of one? Date: 04/20/17 18:48 Re: few Thursday Thirties . . . Author: atsf121 Nice collection!
Date: 04/20/17 19:21 Re: few Thursday Thirties . . . Author: penncentral74 I believe so. Man, they were pretty coarse. Extra wide hoods and shallow detail. My Dad had 3 of them when I was a little tyke. I can't say I didn't run the pants off of them though!
They had a very unique drive train with spur gears instead of worms, and I think they had ball bearings in the trucks (!). I think I still have 1 in the cast-off bin, if I find it I'll share the images.....<rummage, rummage> Posted from Android Date: 04/21/17 04:04 Re: few Thursday Thirties . . . Author: SPDRGWfan I am a GP30 fan too and have a ten of them from Proto 2000. The P2K 30's are pretty nice but I really do hope someone offers one with road specific details like the D&RGW with the unusual low nose light.
