During Conrail’s Early years, reliable motive power was in short supply. In an effort to tackle this issue, Conrail sent 9 GP7s to Illinois Central Gulf RR’s Paducah, KY shop to rebuild the locomotives. ICG chopped the short noses for better viability, changed the control stands for short hood operation, and overhauled the locomotive prime movers. Additionally Dynacell Air Filters were added to the locomotives.
This Conrail GP8 Chop nose nonDynamic shell would be compatible with Conrail Numbers 5402, 5403 and 5405. Also effective for Nittany and Bald Eagle #1602.
The Conrail GP8 Chop Nose Non-Dynamic Locomotive shell that will fit on an Atlas GP7 or GP9.
At this time, we are no longer manufacturing new resin casts of this shell. We are transitioning our Resin casting operation to 3d designed Masters and printed shells.
You can find our New offerings in N Scale Here, along with any remaining new old stock.
