Not rare or unusual but I like it!!!!

A Williams GG-1 in PRR Tuscan five stripe.  I had a Williams GG-1 in Amtrak silver, blue and red, which was nice.....but I like this one better. A very small scratch on the nose made it cheap....and an easy fix for me.  Now I need to someday build a line with catenary for these two and some other juice boxes to run!

That just might be a better find!!!!!

Kinda on topic.....as a kid I was given a magazine, the one with the blue header. It had an article on a doctors collection of Max Gray brass O scale locomotives. It was mainly photos of each loco on his layout.  I looked over that article hundreds of times in my youth.  I still don't own anything Max Gray but that name always brings positive memories.  Thx

Picked up this little K-Line  0-4-0 from a local hobby shop for $60.00.The previous owner had painted over the PRR lettering and hand painted the tender for Union Pacific in red paint.Half of the pilot was broken off. I rebuilt the pilot and installed a scale coupler, removed the red UP lettering+striping,installed cords for the bell+whistle and re-lettered+repainted+weathered the little guy. He runs and smokes like a champ now!
