WA. 98111 September 1988 2 • Model Railroading New Products The Spectrum GP30 arrived too late to photograph our production sample model for this issue. We'll have our usual Robert Higgins' "Test Report" in the October issue. The locomotive is a very much reworked ex-Bachmann body with a new chassis, handrails and better details cut into the mold. It does NOT share the same chassis as the Spectrum 44-ton G.E. diesel we tested in the June 1988 issue; the GP30 has a newfive-pole motor and all-wheel pickup. N scale narrow gauge has arrived at last.· Kadee is now shipping their ready-to-run box car in either SP (for $11.40) or D&RG markings (for $12.00). The February 1987 issue of Model Railroading has the addresses of additional sources of N scale narrow gauge including Gold RushModel's locomotive conversion kits for M arklin's Z scale. The Nn3 equipment will run on Marklin's Z scale ready-to-Iay track. Kadee has released three Nn3 cars. The high-side gondola is available lettered for Rio Grande at $9.40 or Pacific Coast at $8.80, both ready to run with Kadee couplers. The Kadee Nn3flat car includes stakes (on the SP version - $9.90) or empty stake pockets (on the NCO version - $8.80). These cars are teeny - about 2% inches long.
