Reply to "Under The Hood: MPC Era Geep"

Just to be clear, the Carter-era comment comes from an e-mail I sent to Mitch when the GEEPs were in Transit - I told him that when they were last on the rails, Jimmy Carter was President, so they would need some TLC before running (which turned out to be truer than I knew). As delivered to Mitch, there is one powered and one dummy - I do not believe he powered the dummy. So, the trains he pulled in the videos used just one motor.

And the 1973 date seems right. I bought the powered unit when I was in New London, Ct. in ‘72 - ‘74. It reminded me of the engine I saw pulling the train I occasionally took home to NYC.

Can’t wait to see what Mitch does with them... the GG-1, not so much!!!
