When I was a kid, I started model railroading in N-gauge with an Atlas CB&Q EMD GP30. I always liked the Burlington because of the red/white/grey paint scheme. It just looked nice.

I happened across a MTH GP30 on line recently. It was in the Burlington scheme and brought back memories of that little Atlas version from some 40 years ago.

A logical addition to my collection!

I've never been a fan of the Burlington but I think their diesel paint scheme is one of the most attractive.

M y first was the gray Lionel 221 2-6-4 from 1946.
The set had three tinplate blue and silver passenger cars.
It was given away when I went to college in 1952 but I was
able to replace it in 2010 after I got back to playing
with trains.
