What would you call it? - Running Bear - 03-07-2009 Before you jump the gun and blurt out 'GP30' take a close look then come up with a name for it. Keep it clean.

Re: What would you call it? - jim currie - 03-07-2009 something my MM would come up with. jim Re: What would you call it? - viperman - 03-08-2009 SD30 Re: What would you call it? - sgtcarl1 - 03-08-2009 A designer hybred diesel locomotive?? Re: What would you call it? - Running Bear - 03-08-2009 I've decided on GD30J. I didn't come up with that all on my own. It was based on many suggestions from this forum and about ten other forums that I considered. The name stands for General Duty model 30 rebuilt by Jeff. Re: What would you call it? - sgtcarl1 - 03-09-2009 RB, I like that engine designation, and how you came up with it!! Great idea!!
