Here's my two mint Santa Fe dummy GP30's that are nearly completed. All thats left to add are handrails and kadee couplers. Ive had to parts scavange for horns/stepguards/battery covers as these parts are long out of production and difficult to find. The oddball unnumbered one has the earlier chassis with the slightly shorter fuel tank and metal trucks. The other numbered unit has the same chassis shared with GP35's (4 motor mount holes in tank which is slightly longer) with the recast "Globe" style plastic trucks. The chassis came under a boxed NYC GP30 dummy Ive used for other restoration projects. Both of these Santa Fe's were bought as shells only. The metal trucked dummy rides higher too.

| All of he metal truck one ride slightly higher. I have that same issue with an F7a/b/a set I am working on. I was thinking of adding a washer or something to the plastic truck to make it a hair taller.

| I've started liking the GP30 since I got the Lionel BN one the other day. That Santa Fe looks sharp. I'll have to keep an eye out and add that to my fleet.
