That's the frame and body shell ?

Please E-mail 

I will take it

JW

That's it, and you have it. :-)

I'll send you an email...

Hi

If any else has one of these I interested.

Must have been priced too low, it sold in about eight minutes!

I have a bare bones K-line. An excellent runner. 

 Softening Santa's heart early John?

 Excellent deal

Well, it was just taking up space, so I figured it needed a new home.

great deal!

I just noticed that I managed to post this in the wrong section!

I'm not sure how that happened, I swear I thought I was putting it in the right place!

And it still went in 8 minutes!  Heck of a deal!

Hello

Be aware it is going to a good home and I got a great deal.

Just have to be at home today and saw it was a GG-1 and it was cheap and needed some TLC

GRJ is hooking me up and I will be so happy when it gets here

Thanks JW 

Imagine how fast it would have sold in the right section.

Maybe for my next sale I'll try to post in the right place.

Hi

What is the right section on the forum K-Line questions?

Darn I was 5 min late, such a deal! Oye!

Looks like you could close your eyes to choose the section

Congrats JW. 

 Is it a first GG-1 or K-line? 

I got rid of a nice MPC in favor of a K-line. Looks and smoothness.

It worst trait? It hick-ups a tiny bit on Super O turnouts at a creep.

    A tiny bit of tab & slot massage, now I can even run it on 0-27. I do have to use a head end transition car, equipped with a long articulated passenger car coupler, allowing it to follow the wider swing of the GG-1s pilot & coupler. But I can run it anywhere now.

Adriatic, did you have problems with the MPC GG-1 or just didn't like it?

No real problems Steve.

As a kid, GG-1s tended to derail for me a bit (coming off turns the pilots twist down on the outside then ride up the inside straight, but they were the kings of pulling.

  I bought the MPC to satisfy my want of an old one at a lower price. The K-line came with the deal.

I didn't see enough difference, from MPC to PW, performance to $, for a just runner.

   Both low hour motors in hand, I found the K-line smoother on the track, pulling less amps, less "jack rabbiting", and looked better.

Later, being asked to sell one, I kept the K-line.

 I have ran lots of GG-1s though I've only owned a few.

 I'm not a lover of can motors. My K-line GG-1 is an exception. 

  I'd say the most common GG issues of any mfg, would be pilot tracking from them getting tweaked, and pilots falling out of the guide slot while you lift the train. Its like a puzzle. It may pop right back in, or you may have to disassemble them a bit.

You can usually re-tweak them if they bend. Ease, "is a case, by case" thing though.

Kris, It would depend on the question, the Electrical, or Hi rail section would be a good place to carry this conversation to, unless we can figure out a way to work a control system into this, it might be more "polite" to take this over to there.

Maybe post a link here? 

Most of the K-Line stuff was pretty decent, especially the later stuff where they got into a lot of scale pieces.  I sure do miss K-Line.

I love my K-Line factory TMCC GG-1.  Got it here for less than $100.  IT runs great.  I just need to add cruse and directional LED lighting and it'll be even better.

Directional lighting should be standard if you have the factory TMCC, the outputs from the R2LC are already there.  I suspect the issue is that you're running conventional, I think they turn both lights on in that mode.
