30 Thursday In HO - New Scale Trains Rio Grande GP30 At Crockett
Author: FiveChime

Took my new Scale Trains Rio Grande GP30 for a spin around the Carquinez Model Railroad Society Crockett, California layout
the other day. These photos show 3014 with short train at various locations on the layout.
Unit has plenty of pulling power and sounds are accurate with Rio Grande Nathan M3 horn.
Regards, Jim Evans

Nice GP30.  IIRC, I heard in MU consists, Rio Grande engineers preferred GP30's to lead other EMD units because the cabs were "engineered" well.  In my Rio Grande books, it's not unusual to see GP30's leading tunnel motors or other EMD diesels.

IIR it was the other way around…

No, just giving Jim a hard time. The GP will look pretty good in a late 80’s SP train on Donner

Thank you for posting. Great pics, the locomotives look great. Still waiting to unpack my three Rio Grande ones I ordered from Lombard. Thanks for the preview.
