Hello all...

Can anyone please tell me which Phase would be correct for modelling a RDG GP35? I'll be painting undecs and want to "get it right", using Atlas N scale GP35's, either Phase 1a or b. Thanks in advance...

The Reading had 37 GP35's built in 1964 and 1965. I'm not sure if they were all the same phase but a photo roster can be found here: http://www.northeast.railfan.net/rdg_rstr.html#rdg and may help. It will also show some additional features like snowplows that were fitted to many (but not all) of the higher numbered units.
