If you look at page 157 of the Union Pacific Diesels book by Priest, you will see the units with both the GP9's and a 4000.
They ran them with other units fairly often in later years.
I cannot copy the pictures in the book. Soory.

Here is what I found about Veranda consists...Pics found on the internet with a search engine. I didn't find any copyrights so I took the liberty to post them on this forum.
If someone finds I was not authorized to do so, please do not hesitate to contact me so I could remove them ASAP.

lets get back onto my original topic which was about the problems with the verandahs, I was reading the owners manual and it says that you should not run this loco on dc circuit!! if you can't run it on dc what do you run it on on a conventional track(not dcc)?

very surprising ! Specially if you read the quick start manual, it says that you can run it in the analogic environment.
What is said exactly in the manual ? Is there a reason for this restriction ?

I think the correct spelling is "VERANDA", isn't it?

Perhaps you modelers can get together with butch and come up with a consolidated review for posting.

Probably do a better job than MR.

[V][?][V][?]

I own one of Lionels HO GTEL 4500 - a real good model. But I buyed the version painted as number 73 and that´s the problem. Lionel ignore different roof designs !!!

Lionel use one basicmodel and number this as 61 and 73.

61 is okay but the 73 is a modified GTEL 4500 with the obvious higher airintake on the roof behind the cab!


I search now for a superdetail add-on for the higher airintake !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who knows a manufactor ???? E-MAIL ME

My GTEL will run in front of an also digital TRIX Bigboy (jep: MY NICKNAME BIGBOY :4015).

BTW: I have a lot of fun in "playing" with my GTEL in Ponydiesel mode in a depot.
The reduced top speed is great!!!

BTW2: I test my GTEL also with the Broadway Limited Sidekick - Works well !!! Logical I think because both manufactors use the QSI system.

There's a written procedure to follow to fire this baby up.
Wonder if it was included in Tony's order??????????


My 73 includes also the Quick Start Manual !!!

And without that manual it´s also no problem!!!

Hi Antoine,

The combination looks great !!! And the sound of both will be a dream!

Only bad fact is the wrong airintake of VERANDA #73. When order the #61 will not have the problem!
