Hopefully one of these days they'll do a high hood GP35 in both N&W and W&LE paint.

Very cool, but they goofed up the page for the ACF 5701 roadnames. It lists the cars as HO ones...

[packers#1]

Stoked for the GP35's, I need at least two for painting for the MRL; however, I'll probably pick up a pair of ACL's and just buy extra shells. The plastics hoppers are also welcome, I'll need a few of those

Been looking for someone to do the Louisiana-Pacific hopper but the only prototype I have seen is the 3 bay. A quick search found that they do indeed have the 4 bay version, just never encountered one.

GN GP-35 is interesting, too bad it is not CB&Q though, but that is good for the budget though!!

[gbcaboose]

Wow, I hoped this would finally be the GP35 release that included the GM&O.  Only six other US railroads ordered more GP35's than the GM&O (48), plus it's such a good looking locomotive      I guess it's just not meant to be.

Those Conrail GPs weren't super common, but they stuck around until the mid 90s. I think I'm gonna get me one.

When EMD pissed off CR by ending the lease on its GP38's, CR reactivated tons of GP35's and GP30's - I believe this was around 1992...

The Allentown yard master told me that whenever a GP35 would come in, they would just find a way to send it back somewhere else ASAP.

Why did the yard master do that for??

[Nick Lorusso]

Wonder if Atlas is going to have nose lights in the CP units?

[up1950s]

I am pocket dipping for the Wilson's and PRR  TrukTrain TOFC .

[Ed Kapuscinski]

Why did the yard master do that for??

I'm guessing because they were old, beat up and worn out. Think about it, would you rather have some nice reliable 1978 built GP38-2s for yard power, or some 1964 built unit that had been in storage for five years.

I'll take a Conrail and Western Maryland.
