Conrail C30-7A Tips by Bob Waller
Conrail took delivery of 50 C30-7A's (CR 6550-6599) between May and June 1984. When Conrail went back later that year for an additional 10 units, GE offered them the improved C32-8 instead. Thus Conrail became the only railroad in the world to own the C30-7A.A while back, Atlas produced a C30-7 in N scale, which is now out of production and scarce. Unfortunately, you really can't use this to model a Conrail C30-7A. There are just to many major differences between the model and the prototype. I describe these on the HO Modeling page, for those interested. However, if you decide to use the model as a stand-in, it does have the correct cab for a C30-7A, whereas the HO version doesn't.
