Boston & Maine "GP18" (GP20)

Unread postby RickKfoury » Mon Dec 29, 2014 11:24 pm

Started repainting the Union Pacific GP20 into a B&M GP18. technically, the B&M never owned any GP20s but they had a number of GP18s, and this might be the closest we get to a GP18, so why not! At a glance it should fit in nicely on the Portland Terminal or B&M routes.

The main difference will be the sound. The GP20 was EMD's first turbo charged model. I think...
New build. i7-7700k, MSI Z270 Gaming M5 Mobo, Hyper 212 Evo, Corsair DDR4 3200 Mhz RAM, Klipsch Pro Mediea 2.1 Speakers, Samsung 850 Evo SSD, HAF XM Case, Asus Strix GTX 1070 and Cooler Master Storm XT Keyboard.
Slick with Pretty Rainbow Colors.

Yes, the MassCentral recently painted their new GP-38s into the Bluebird scheme
