    I was a ten year old kid living in central Nebraska 3 city blocks from Union Pacifics main line. No one can imagine the roar that these jet locomotives produced. They would shake your ribs inside your chest. Many cities banned them from running inside city limits so they were towed by standard locomotives through town. We called them model D-50 Veranda

      Maybe we should equip these with a rolling thunder receiver

      @Joseph Lewis thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
      Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

    I have turbines 2, 26 and 30. 2 and 30 are Overland models while 26 is your Rivet Counter version. I plan on getting the Museum Quality version soon then I'll have both grades of turbines. I plan on doing a 4-Way Shootout for my club's newsletter after that. Can't get enough of these beasts!

    Another question. In this video the big blow #30 have a 24,000 gallons tender but my model of big blow #30 (2016) have a 23,000 gallons tender. Why?

    Idea: What if the GETEL’s were sold in liveries other then the Union Pacific livery. For example, an All Black Livery (I would like that).
    I believe that if modelers want to be creative, they should be given the choice to be creative, and that includes having the ability to pick something unique and different. They can choose to paint new liveries on locomotives, and make them their own.

    @Alex-tk2ru 3 роки тому +1

    this is so impressive, I wish UP was one of my preferred roads just to own this specific locomotive. keep up the good work putting Ahearn to shame! It'd take some HUGE cojones to weather a $750 locomotive haha
