Thanks for the tip, Bill.  I've ordered my GP30s now.

Since I have not seen anybody post on these, so:

Walthers released GP9 Phase I in the Blackbird scheme last month. They
are the same quality as the recent Walthers Proto GP7s which I believe
is excellent. Walthers is now out of stock on these, but I saw a couple
for sale at a local hobby shop on Thursday. I've run my set to get them
broken in. They run very smoothly. Using the Loksound programmer, I was
able to change the horn to a dual Leslie A200 to match the dual horns on
the locomotive.

ScaleTrains announce last week GP30s in the delivery scheme (EMD
produced April-June 1962). They are planning to have six different
numbers available in both LokSound/DCC and DC. You can see more on the
CB&Q GP30 page on their website:
