The GP30 was EMD's response to GE's U25B and a turning point in the second-generation diesel race — 948 were built between 1961 and 1963, and SP rostered them as core mainline power for decades. With Rolling Thunder bass, GoPack capacitor packs, and individually controllable lighting, this is a layout-ready locomotive that runs as good as it looks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eLooking for more HO Scale locomotives?
