Hi everybody!
When I first got into Lionel trains over 30 years ago I always wanted, being a kid growing up very close to the PRR New York to Philadelphia line was what I thought was the crown jewel of PW Lionel, was the GG-1. However at the time and also when I started collecting Lionel the prices were way beyond my financial capability. However, recently I noticed on ebay that much to my surprise and delight, their prices have gone down somewhat. As a result, I see a plethora of "semi-scale" GG-1's listed in just about all flavors. As a matter of fact, I just purchased one, an MPC in PC that I always coveted for just about $150 in "like new" condition. Therefore, are there any real differences when compared and evaluated between the MPC Tuscan and Brunswick Green models, the several post 1988 models that at the time I thought were relatively speaking very reasonable, and the various MTH and Williams clones? Are there some models that for running purposes should be avoided? The next two and I would like to get as soon as I get authorization from the money police are the two MPC PRR models, one in each color. Any thoughts, comments or suggestions from your experiences or what you have learned would be great!
