Does anyone know the difference between these two GG1s? They are both 5 Stripe.

Williams #934930

Williams Traditional Line #41798

The 41798 is an older one with just an early electronic horn. The 934930 is newer and had the TruBlast II horn/bell sound board. Both are, obviously, conventional operation.

Most of the early Williams came without flywheels on the motors. All of the Golden Memories (ca 2002-2003) and later had flywheels. Not sure what 41798 came with.

Hey John,

Take a peek at this ad for 41702 with True Blast II over at Pat's Trains.

I'm just guessing, but wouldn't a 41702 fall in the same category as a 41798?

Notice it says Williams by Bachmann also. So that tells me it's a newer one

Apparently not as I found the 41702 and it stated only a horn board.

True Blast Plus is the newer sound board.
