I've handled 15 to 20 JLC GG1's in the past five or so years. The only ones I recall seeing is the silver with the solid tuscan stripe. This has led me to believe that it was primarily that run that was affected. I'd like to hear if it was any other colors.
Mine is green single stripe.

Lionel did two maybe three runs of the JLC GG1 over 1 to 2 years.. My Tuscan 5 stripe is from the second run, the same run as the silver GG1 I believe. Thankfully no problems yet with mine. But, knowing I have no use or tolerance for high priced crap production, the GG1 like the beautiful JLC Allegheny H8 I loved but sadly sold off that did suffer extensive zinc rot will be on the sell list shortly.

I can't think of a more frustrating and depressing moment for me, probably anyone who buys these things then when one suddenly finds irreparable zinc rot on a beautiful & expensive model.
