Yup: according to the B&O all-time diesel roster, they only had one GP18:

For photos of railroads, especially diesels and post-1960 railroading, always check the Fallen Flags site first! Here's their list of B&O diesels:

Dale,
The only photo I know of is this one. http://www.trainweb.org/chessiephotos/photos/GP9/6599b&o.jpg
I do know that the B&O only had one GP18 on their roster. I know this because I too have two GP18's. Know of anyone that might want to purchase one?

GP-18 B&O detailing?
Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, October 9, 2003 8:15 AM
I have 2 proto 2000 GP-18 B&O's that I want to super detail. Anyone have pictures or know of what to change? Plow in the front? moving the horns? etc...

I'd like to make them pretty close to the real thing, but I have no idea what that entails.

Any suggestions or pictures welcome.

Pics can be emailed to DTockeII@comcast.net if necessary

Thanks!
-Dale
