Good side shots are a little hard to come by but they were all painted with the freight paint scheme. Originally equipped with dual A200 horns but later got early rs3l's. I think the B&O model would make a good basis for it.

Numbered 6115 through 6124. They had no dynamic brakes but the gp30 roof cowling mostly hides the missing fan anyway and the grills were covered up with sheet metal which is more insignificant for a free repaint attempt.

One of the quirky things about New York Central engines was most of them had a unique class given to them and in tiny font under the cab number. Gp30's were given DRS-13A kind of like on this model or other New York Central survivors of other classes.

It’s a Steam marketplace addon based on the UP GP30.

Not that it helps with this repaint, but I saw this picture a little while back and had posted it in the deep photos thread, just thought I'd share it again here because it is pretty cool
