MTH GG1 pantograph replacements

You could try Brasseur.  They have a lot of MTH parts.  Make sure you have the right model number for the locomotive, there are a few different pantographs.

I just sold two of them I had for years. Did your GG1 have the pans that looked like the old Lionel ones, but bigger, or did they look scale? Don

Is the pantograph you need a manual or operating version?

These are the pantographs,, the front is different than the rear one, the rear one appears to be a replacement and the front one is now broken

OK, I think Lionel and MTH pantographs were made by the same company. I have used both on my Milwaukee Electrics made by MTH. This guy has the Milwaukee version for only 29 dollars, a great price. The only difference in the regular and Milwaukee is the curved snow guard, You can cut that off and you will have the same pan. Be sure you measure where the pantograph insulators are to make sure they fit. 

Here is where to get them. https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-L...d:g:fFkAAOSwWnFV-ftX

It looks like you have the powered pantographs. They both should be the same, either with single wiper or dual wiper.I am surprised MTH doesn't have them. You have to check the MTH web site with road number to see the correct pantograph. I don't see any part that is broken.

As a Milwaukee Road fan with lots of scale electric locomotive, all running on overhead, for the life of me I don't know why MTH doesn't make more extra pantographs. It's like not making any extra pickup rollers. Thats the way I get power to the engine. Pantographs can catch and pull apart if the overhead is not right. I have been lucky and not had a problem but it can happen. Lionel seems to have made many extra pans though they haven't made all that many electrics. Don

I still can't tell for sure which version it is. Do the pantographs go up and down with direction change, or do you manually have to raise them? The double shoe one is usually correct for a GG-1.

My New Haven EP3 has what appears to be the single bar top.

All 3 of the PS2 GG1s I have are single bar pans. If you have the automatic raise/lower pans, those should be the ones you need. I suspect someone swapped out a powered one for an older manual one because the original broke. 

Pull both pants off of pin and look to see if there 2 tabs one on each side they both should have it. These  pants are from proto 2 GG1's. The wipers are just different in the real world they could have used a single on one end because the railroad might have been  out of the other type. The chrome type are from the non operating pantographs. other GG1 nuts like me will tel you.
