Dan -- Check this video out from my old layout. I had the old Lionel GG1, the Penn Central with the goofball number. Dumb as I was then, I mounted the pantograph in the middle of the engine so it would work under the O27 catenary. I'm ashamed, forgive my sin!
I figured someone would lease me one at some point. *hint hint*
I didn't notice the pantograph being center mounted until you pointed it out. Just the fact that you got it to work on such tight curves is worth noting. Your center mounted pantograph is not nearly the sin as was Tyco's GG1 with two outward mounted six wheels power trucks !!! Now THAT was a sin !

I have this GG1 purely for collectors purposes. This was towards the end of Tyco production and they used the same trucks for their C636, E7 and GG1. It's one of my over 40 in HO scale. Kind of the Pokeman thing my kids are into, "Have to catch them all."
