[CBQ] ScaleTrains HO Scale CB&Q GP30

["William Hirt" <whirt@fastmail.com>]

I received my ScaleTrains GP30's yesterday evening. To say these are 
exceptional HO Scale locomotives is somewhat of an understatement. 
Detailed as delivered from April-June 1962, the models have working nose 
headlights and working oscillating headlights between the number boards. 
It also has lighted walkways and lights over the front trucks on both 
sides of the unit. There are also working class lights on the locomotive 
nose. The sound units come factory equipped with LokSound 5 decoders 
with the proper bell and horn already programmed in the locomotive. They 
also have a small capacitor for DCC units to continue running over dirty 
track spots. Non-sound units run on DC and can be upgraded to DCC or DCC 
woth sound with the appropriate LokSound 5 decoder as detailed in the 
manual.
I am still in the process of breaking my units in, but I expect the 
programming will be quick due to the factory already doing most of it - 
changing the DCC address to the locomotive number and turning down the 
sound volume are the two biggest changes.
It has been almost a year wait for these, but it was worth it.

The CB&Q units are showing sold out at ScaleTrains. You will need to 
check their dealer list for available numbers.
