Product Information

Built between 1961 and 1963, the GP30 design reflected the latest engineering of the early 1960s. It owes its distinctive “hump,” which spans the entire top of the locomotive, to General Motors’ automotive stylists. Among its design innovations, the GP30 could be equipped with dynamic braking and an airtight hood to protect the air intake of its electrical cooling system. We continue the GP30’s innovative tradition by making this the first Williams by Bachmann model to include True Blast Plus™, which provides 16-bit polyphonic sound. 
 
 GP30 features include:

 * directional LED lighting
 * separately applied grabirons, drop-down steps, and windshield wipers
 * wire-formed handrails
 * 6-amp reverse board with directional lock-out
 * prototypically correct details for dynamic and non-dynamic brake models
 * dual motors with flywheel coasting action
 * traction tires
 * True Blast Plus™ 16-bit polyphonic sound including prime mover, horn, and bell
