O gauge enthusiast Bruce Baron typically shares with us here at Classic Toy Trains photos of steam engines on his layout. So it came as a surprise – and a very pleasant one – to receive this slick picture of a diesel pulling covered hoppers into the big city on his layout in Munson Township, Ohio. The hardy New York Central GP30 road diesel Bruce caught in action is a Lionel model (No. 28850) he recalls being cataloged in 2004. It’s hauling a string of covered hoppers filled with cement and similar materials.
