The above example shows Bev-Bel’s Santa Fe Freight Warbonnet scheme GP30.
Lettering for either example is similar and both models included road number 181, also shared with the Lionel-HO Burlington Northern GP30.īev-Bel for many years released special runs of others company’s items in road names unavailable otherwise. Bachmann substituted silver in place of the roofline black color on Burlington Northern models beginning the early 1980s. The original release Bachmann Burlington Northern GP30 of the late 1970s was identical to the one sold previously by Lionel-HO, with the only external difference being the name found on the model’s fuel tank bottom. Regular DC GP30 models are also part of the contemporary Bachmann line. Outside of its service in Bachmann’s line, Kader sold shells to Bev-Bel and Front Range for use in GP30 offerings during the 1980s and into the 1990s. Bachmann cataloged the model as a standard line offering from 1979 through 1987. The GP30 enjoys enhancement revisions in its tooling and a new drive is created and it becomes of the first models in the Spectrum line from Bachmann in 1988. Following its many years as a Spectrum entry, Bachmann provided a revised drive with a factory-installed DCC (Digital Command Control) decoder and the GP30 was back again as an EZ-DCC line release in the 21st Century. This GP30 model has certainly enjoyed some success since its introduction under the Lionel-HO name in 1976.
