    Seen elsewhere today- Mention of a GP30 project. Did this ever come about? OR was it dropped? I'm a GP30 fan, so am curious.

    BoxcabE50, You are in luck. BTS in Florida has them for sale. He may even have a Milwaukee version with the type B road trucks still. They recieved good reviews.

    Ken,

    Those GP30's are nice. The price for them isn't all that bad, as far as brass goes. Still, out of my league. At one time there was talk of a kit to convert American Models GP35 to a GP30. Never went to production. Now if you want to chop the nose on the GP9 there is a kit for that. Makes a good looking EMD low nosed unit. Did you ever find your info on MILW's GP35's?

    Greg-

    The information on the GP35's, what I'd hoped for, may be coming. I've posted a note about it in the Milw Forum. MLM of July, 2002 will have Milw GP35's as a feature article.
