Enjoyed this review, Chris. Very nice background these transition era diesels. Really great details and a great ready-for-work look out on the rails look. Thanks for featuring them.

Hi Chris, I love the GP30;s they have such a strong muscular (ready for work) look and I love your Penn Central patch version with that awesome paint scheme (I didn''t know Lionel did that). I am running a Union Pacific Gp30 from MTH on my layout right now and it is an awesome model too. Thanks for another great video. Have a great time at York.

There's a really great version of the GP30 still running up at Cumberland on the WMSRR, #501, fun to ride behind!

Great review, Chris! I really like those PRR units. I think Lionel has historically done an awesome job with their GP30's! I loved the up-close perspective that you captured as the units were passing by. They do look good running in pairs. Bill B.

Great review, I agree those locomotives just have a real aggressive look to them that. That Penn central patch is gorgeous, that fade look is really cool Lionel did a great job with that.

Couldn’t agree more!

Great video Chris! I picked up the reading patch version yesterday and it’s a must-have. The faded colors are so satisfying.

Very clever of Lionel with that "sliding into decrepitude" PennCentral / Conrail patch GP30! That's not something you'd expect from a train maker! Those who like the weathered look have been given a head start with this version of the Geep. Historically, the GP30 really signals the beginning of the competition between EMD and GE for the domestic locomotive market, a race GE would eventually win.

The gp30 is the most slick looking series of EMD road switchers.

Awesome video Chris! I always see the New Hope GP30 2198 running on passenger trains.

It's a shame d&H and CNJ din't buy them with their most colorful livery! A great engine and where I lived, though a branch line, I saw the B&O's GP-30 brand new. What a sight!

I am anxiously awaiting my pre-order Wisconsin Central. Unfortunately, the Mr. Muffin custom run Soo Line didn't get enough pre-orders to become a reality.

Remind me of porcupines with those those bars on top as those engines move.

Great engines and great review as always. Unfortunately Bob nor myself won't be at York. I don't know who will occupy the TM booth, but we'll be there in the fall.

Great transition-era diesels! Love that Conrail restamped version. Such a cool element. Sharp details on these and you did a wonderful job highlighting those.

Nice diesels and Lionel definitely did well on that CR patched unit. The GP30 definitely has a dignified down to business character to it. They look "mean" and are one of my favorites. Thanks for sharing.

Good Morning. Have fun at York. What a great way to spend a weekend.

Chris bought the conrail gp30 loco.....nice model don't get me wrong...but.....the yellow on the rails along the long hood is wrong...I painted mine all black.....look on the internet and did not see any gp30's with yellow rails.....did not see it on the PC/CR locos......other than that it's a good looking loco...
