Outstanding review thank you ERIC. Layout looking good too.
Great review as always. Thanks Eric!
It makes me wonder how many modelers have layouts that they can run their GG-1s powered through the pantographs......

review spoke person!
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another great review & video.
Hi Eric • Enjoyed the GG-1 history. It would be cool to get the overhead power from the pantographs. Very interesting on how they work. Looks & sounds great on the layout.

Another great review. I really appreciate your work doing them and I've always enjoyed watching them.
This is a really nice looking set from MTH with great detail. However, I wish MTH had not used cars painted in a fantasy scheme (these cars are painted a proposed Raymond Lowey design that was never used). It would have been really nice if MTH had used the appropriate Merchandise Service scheme they have used on other cars.
I like the N8 cabin with the circle keystone; you normally see them with the shadow keystone.
Eric's review makes me want to install Catenary.
Nice review and nice set!
Eric, nice review. The GG1 is one of my favorite engines. Now for the "Sheldon Cooper" part, 
, the caboose should have been run with the marker lights on the rear. The N5c and N8 cabooses are also one of my favorite cabooses. Almost cringe worthy.

Eric:
Great review as usual. I will correct one aspect of the history you outline at the beginning of the review, however. While GE designed the internal aspects of the GG1, the PRR built the majority of the G's (120+) themselves at the Altoona works.

Hi Eric,
Great review, great set
Thanks,

Mth are back to using those cheap looking wipers on the pantographs. I have a few Proto 2 GG1's and the wipers look great. This looks bad like the old Lionel O27 GG1's. I wont buy a Proto 2 because of of this. But a great review and history of loco.
