Overview:
One of EMD's more distinctive designs and often appreciated more for its style than its reliability, the GP30 helped usher in the second generation of diesel locomotives. Hundreds of these have been rebuilt and remain in service on railroads today in their original bodies, making this a popular model from the 1960s to the present. Our latest release comes in some classic and modern liveries for some of our most popular roads, and includes unique details like the non-dynamic New York Central units and the Pennsy's Trainphone antennae.
