Anybody know how many GP38's Conrail rostered and their road numbers? I see Atlas is supposedly going to produce GP38's in N scale and wonder if they'll do a CR run...?

Conrail had quite a few, 7800 series rings a bell - will check it out when I go back to work in the am.

The LifeLike model may actually be a GP38-2 (if you are referring to the N scale model). I am not sure, as I don't have any.

Scrounging around the 'net, I found pictures of ex-CR GP38's (all retired) on the CSX Photo Archives site. http://www.trainweb.org/csxphotos/photos/GP38/1996cr.jpg

I think some or all of these GP38's may have gone to EMD/LLPX in the big trade that brought more modern power to CSX.
