N Scale Conrail SD40 6303
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.

The GP30s had an interesting career with Conrail.Some of the oldest second generation power on the road, they survived through the early 1990s, being put into, and taken out of storage as traffic dictated. My model reflects one of these engines in the middle of its Conrail career.

Conrail’s aged fleet of roadswitchers underwent a rebuilding program. Modifications included reconfiguring air intakes, removing dynamic brakes and other internal upgrades. When outshopped, these units were classified GP8s (for units that began as GP7s) and GP10s (for units that began as GP9s).

When it was formed, Conrail inherited a mess of unreliable locomotives from it’s predecessors. Some of it’s first purchases were a group of GP40-2s. These were initially purchased to work on the line’s high priority Trailvan trains, however, by the mid 80s they were no longer restricted to this service and were found system wide.
