N Scale Conrail C30-7 6602

01/04/200612/22/2014 Ed Kapuscinski

Conrail only owned 6 “normal” C30-7s, so 6602 is a bit of an oddball compared to the 50 C30-7As that far outnumbered them on the roster. However, in N scale, we don’t have C30-7As available, but way back in 1994 Kato released the C30s in 2 numbers. A few months back I came across one […]

N Scale Conrail U23B 2735

01/03/200612/22/2014 Ed Kapuscinski

The U23B was General Electric’s equivalent to EMD’s wildly successful GP38. It was a 2300HP road switcher that was aimed at both road and local service. Conrail inherited a number of U23Bs from Penn Central and the Lehigh Valley. They served in duties as intended for a number of years, but were slowly being phased […]

N Scale Conrail GP30 2236

01/02/200612/22/2014 Ed Kapuscinski

I admit it, I’m a sucker for GP30s. There’s something about the purposeful “bulldog” look to them that I find appealing. Also, they were common secondary power during the early years of Conrail. I already have one, but when Atlas came out with a new run of them a few years ago, and they went […]

N Scale Conrail B23-7 1913

01/01/200612/22/2014 Ed Kapuscinski

1913 is an almost stock Atlas B23-7. Conrail’s beaten 23s mostly worked in New York and New England, however, they did occasionally venture south, and so I wanted a model of one.

N Scale Conrail SD40 6303

01/01/200612/22/2014 Ed Kapuscinski

Conrail’s SD40s were hard working locomotives. It inherited 118 of them from the Penn Central (originally from the PRR) and the CNJ. They proved to be more reliable than their bigger brothers, the SD45s, and as such served in much more widespread and longer service.

Conrail 6303 is an ex-Penn Central SD40. It is a Kato SD40 that I custom painted.

N Scale Conrail SD35 6032

01/01/200612/22/2014 Ed Kapuscinski

Conrail’s SD35 were mostly retired by 1985. A few survived being pressed into service during traffic surges, but their dilapidated condition shows that their time was running out.

N Scale Conrail GP40 3259

This geep started out as an undecorated Atlas model that I detailed and painted to match a Conrail prototype.

N Scale Conrail GP40 3217

This engine started as an undecorated Atlas GP40 that I detailed and painted up as one of the surprisingly few mid-80s Conrail GP40s.
