About This Video

In this 3-minute product demo, I take a quick but detailed look at the newest ScaleTrains Rivet Counter GP30 releases just hitting store shelves—specifically the GP30M and the GP30 Phase 1B2 in CSX (ex-Chessie patch-out) and Union Pacific. I run through the unboxing (lid off, manual, foam, clamshell) and get right into what you’re really here for: the detail. On the CSX unit you’ll see things like the firecracker antenna, sand filler hatch, horn, lights, finely done windshield wipers, and that patch-out/faded and chipped paint look that really sells the “been there” vibe. From there I move into the DCC/ESU LOKSound side with a quick startup and a look at the lighting package. The class lights and number boards are lit, there are multiple lighting functions, and you can even spot walkway lighting underneath along the chassis. Both models run smooth at slow speed, and I give you a quick listen to the bell and horn so you can hear what you’re getting. The UP version also has road-specific details, and one of the big visual differences I point out is the beacon light. It’s a short video, but it hits the highlights that matter: detail, lighting, sound, and slow-speed performance.
