Bachmann Spectrum EMD GP 30 Reading Railroad.  #3608   Repainted and detailed.  Original packaging.

Bachmann chose to model the Reading Railroad's GP30s in the "as delivered in April 1962" colour scheme. There were two main spotting features:
Within a year, the Reading began repainting the sideframes Green and renumbered the locomotives in the range 3600 -3619.

This model represents one of the units after overhaul in 1963. this was it's appearance for the major part of it's working life on the Reading. It has also received the correct split air horn arrangement, firecracker antenna and rain strips on the cab roof, and some weathering. It is a much more faithful model of the prototype.
