HH GP30

[n8phu]

I was just screwing around, and now I think I need to bust out some scale drawings:

I kinda eyeballed everything..

Base GP-30 Mesh graciously supplied by Josheh....

These is still a bunch more to do...

Learning as I go.....

lookin good just the same =)

 

[Klinger]

No ones made one yet, so why not

 

[legolistic]

In my opinion, I think that that loco would look cool painted in like LTEX black with sharp looking numbers.

It'd probably be more accurate to say that no one's finished one yet... I don't think I'm first either. I wanted to wait until I got further along until I showed it off, but haven't done anything in a while. I've just been waiting on getting pics of our GP30 at TVRM. Just keep forgetting my camera...

 

[mtldrm38]

either way the gp30 was always a favorite to me

Y'all might find something in here useful. These shots were taken before we leased 2594 to TVRM.

Good luck!

Cheers,

[n8phu]

Absolutely! Just little slow seeing as these are going to be my first offering.....

Learning as I go....

 

[817TAYLOR]

kool!

also
what livery are you making this and does it have a custom cab?

 

[817TAYLOR]

how the work be comin?
done yet?

 

[n8phu]

Unfortunately, not yet.

Life has away of re-prioritizing things for you, whether you like it or not.

I am on a bit of a hiatus, I am hoping to get back into things mid April, barring any other unforeseen problems.

Cant wait. Hope you are planning a Southern Long hood first.

GP30's on the Southern were one of the few models ordered short hood forward.

I assume this is directed to the both of us, so I will go ahead and answer first...

I am working off of a base model by Josheh, and making changes as I go to it. Its my first locomotive, so I am working slowly...

So no idea when its going to be finished...

I was going to do both N&W and Southern high hood units.....

Then move on to some low nose...

I figured I would probably do 5 units of each...

I have found a new love and her name is GP30.
A remote control BNSF unit would be KILLER. Of course its a GP39 but...

A GP39 is closer to a GP38/40 than a GP30.

Yeah, the way I understood it's just the shell of a GP30 after the rebuild. Sorry I should have been more clear.
