I have a Life-Like P2K GP30 of Norfolk & Western 2906. It comes in the N&W dark blue. So far I know the following: --> Former NKP locomotive --> 2906 never wore the blue (as far as I could tell) --> NKP GP30's had a bell in the nose --> the LL P2K model does not have a bell in the nose. --> Most non-NKP GP30's the N&W had were high-nosed. Were there any non-NKP GP30's that were low-nose units?
The 10 NKP GP30s were the only low-nose GP30s on N&Ws roster. 2906 almost assuredly wore blue.. she was repainted in 1966.
I caught one of those ex-NKP units almost 20 years ago.... It was one of the first low nosed GP30's I had ever seen, definately the first low mosed unit on NS...
