Norfolk and Western Railway GP30 #541

Here's my attempt at a N&W GP30, circa 1980 or thereabouts. Model based on the excellent HO Scale Proto 2000 high-nosed EMD GP30.

This was a "quickie" detail project, but it still took me a while to get this done!
And.. I still have a fair amount of weathering to do.. sigh..

Factory paint, just a bunch of little added details including Details Associates Winterization windows & firecracker antenna, AMB window glass, .008 phosphor bronze coupler lift bars, Details West Speed recorders, 5-chime airhorn, DW MU and air hoses, DW headlight lenses, Cannon & Co. Dynamic and 48" radiator fans, Proto 2000 GP9 36" fan per prototype, Kadee #58 couplers, Shellscale decals for the numbers and numberboards, Digitrax DH163LO decoder, stock LEDs inside, working class lights.

Thanks to Jarrett Mullen for the use of his GP9 fan up top!
