I bought a five stripe JLC GG1 several years ago. Fantastic engine. Only issue I had was speed control. It was the magnet on top of one of the motors, half had come loose. I spoke with one of the Lionel techs, took the shell off, glued the magnet together with CA cement, and it's been running perfect ever since. The pantographs are really neat. Wish I had some catenary, but that'd look weird over the Sierra! (Though SP did entertain the idea of electrification in the early part of the 20th century).
For future reference, how hard is it to take the shell off if I find that I'm having issues with the speed control again? The main thing that worries me is the pantographs.
