I purchased this today at a local train show.  I remember reading about this in a past article.  The person who owned this GG1 worked for a railroad and received it as a safety award. The box says Conrail and mentions safety but no manufacturer. I was told that it was a display only item.  An examination of the rollers seemed to bear this out.  On the bottom it was Identified as Kline.  The box was torn and taped.  So my question is this: Is it valuable or should I give it to grandkids to play? Anyone have an idea about value?

I would run it too. I think K line made superb smooth running engines that are great pullers, especially after year 2000. I have their Chessie System Diesel, a Tuscan Red GG1 and 5344 baby Hudson that all have terrific detail, run great and were relatively economical. But I believe in running everything, including a mint condition 700E (which I don't and never will have) for philosophical reasons because all trains were meant to run.
