System C&O U30C #3301...
The C&O purchased two small
orders of U30C's in 1967-68. At just 13 total units, there weren't
too common. These units were unique in that some ran on GSC trucks,
others on Adirondack trucks. See Athearn
U-30C page for more info on these units.
Below is a Dean Heacock pic of the
real #3301. It was sold in 1985 to the Seaboard System and was scrapped
shortly after.
My U30C is actually a U28C model
that I have modified to be a U30C. I added lots of details and Herald
King decals. Mine is also a "dummy" that means it doesn't have a
motor in it and won't move on its own. I make all of my "dummies"
have odd road numbers, and powered units have even numbers. This
eliviates any question as to which run and which don't.
Here is a starting pic.
Below are my finished pics.
