RDG 39-2's

This board is the place where questions and information specific to MODELING the Reading Company, its equipment and operations can be shared - questions like "What was the window arrangement of AF Tower in Alburtis?" and "What color paint do YOU use to paint the Reading's cream-and-brown buildings?" We also want to hear about YOUR Reading modeling projects!

JoannaBill OFFLINE Road Foreman of Engines Posts: 422 Thank you received: 63	Okay, this is partly guess work. But, as the GP-39's were lower horsepower than the 35's, A lower number series was justified based on the plan laid out in Dale Woodland's second Reading book.

JoannaBill OFFLINE Road Foreman of Engines Posts: 422 Thank you received: 63	Maybe 7500's, 7400's would have conflicted with Western Maryland. Hmm, a Reading SD-40-2? Oh well, I have enough projects already.
