Recently I have become interested in Pennsylvania GG1 Locomotives. Somewhere there is a photo of myself on the end of one at Altoona and of coarse there is the one a Strasbourg. I tend to like to model true to scale and the Lionel ones just didn't look right to me. I bought a shell of a GG1 that was made by Mr. Ed Duddy and I am told there also was a man named Alexander who made models of these engines. I need a set of drive wheels and I will either have to make a set of frames or possibly I can find some that Mr. Duddy or Mr Alexander made. Lionel drivers for these engines only have six spokes while in reality these drivers had seven spokes. If anyone has some old parts for theses engines could you let me know if you are willing to sell them and how much you would hope to get for the parts. Apparently the Ed Duddy shells are nineteen and a quarter inches so at a scale if 1/4 inch to the foot these shells are about three feet short of the seventy nine feet six inches a real GG1 was.
Thanks,
Bob
