ScaleTrains Rivet Counter HO SXT39251 DCC/ESU Loksound 5 Equipped EMD GP30 Locomotive

Cotton Belt 'Bloody Nose - As Delivered' #750

A new era continues with the Rivet Counter HO Scale EMD GP30. First introduced in 1961, the GP30 would become one of the most-common locomotives on the rails for the next two decades. Our Rivet Counter series model renders the numerous variations of cabs, dynamic brakes, doors, grilles, trucks, etc. Per the prototype and era, we’ve also incorporated LED lighting effects including front, rear, and side walkway lights; ground lights; printed and lighted number boards; and ditch lights.

*****Lombard Hobbies Recommendation - As modelers ourselves we highly recommend ONLY running DCC on DCC systems and DC on DC systems, regardless of 'Dual-Mode' capability. This gives optimum performance and safeguards the unit from possible damage from running on a different system than originally intended and from any inexperienced operator errors.

Prototype History:

Western rival Southern Pacific barely dipped their toe in the GP30 waters, only buying a total of 18 between them and their Cotton Belt subsidiary, but being some of the most distinctive units built on account of being optioned with the unmistakable SP lighting package on both ends.
