TGIFEF - Railking, and hopefully, haven’t used this pic before🙏🏻

That is a nice GP I have my dads in HO from the 60s, Always wanted one on O scale Mark

This is our newest addition to the Great Northeastern Railway's fleet, a K-Line, Tuscan red, PRR, GG-1 to lead the PRR Congressional. This was a pre-York acquisition delivered and tested in the lobby of the Orange Hall on Friday morning. It will soon receive an upgrade to MTH, Proto-Sound 3.

I could not get the Imbed Media function to work this morning so, below is a Youtube link to a run-by video.

Great looking locomotive Randy!   As far as I know K line was the only manufacturer  to have full sized ( length ) cab access doors on their GG1s.  K line GG1s are not only good looking models, they are also fabulous pullers!!  Congrats on your purchase!

Well, this photo was posted a few days ago in another thread. But appropriately, it's a front end shot, so I'll post it here, too. This is my new Williams Union Pacific FA-1, fitted with a new cab crew.

Randy - hard to tell (for me, anyway); is it a scale or traditional sized GG1?

Its FEF time!

MTH SW1.

A couple of front ends for this FEF.

MTH M1 and I1.

Mark:

The GG-1 is "traditional" sized (selectively compressed) to accommodate my tight O-31/O-42 curves.

The Pennsy PA idles before pulling out of the West End yard...the West End yard is part of the new addition on to the layout...

PWC Lionel Picatinny Arsenal and AEC Motorized Gas Turbine units awaiting orders in the rail yard.
