My Junk 2332 GG1s Brought Back to life and My 225E Transformation

FYI, it took 3 coats of dull coat followed by 3 coats of gloss coat to set the the decals. I was amazed that the original paint was abled to be polished out.

Thanks for looking

Pat

Wow Pat. Those look brand new! Awesome job!

I did learn one thing whatever Eliot Welz charged for his restorations of GG1s it was not enough. I will also say the decals I used were from The UNDERGROUND Railroad Shoppe were a quialty product

Those 2332 single motor GG1s run very smooth and quiet.  Back in 1981 I had Elliot Welz repaint my MPC GG1 into the brunswick green, five stripe livery.  First may I say that he did a first class job, right down to the tiny "WATER" and "FUEL" lettering.  I still have that loco.  If memory serves me, I paid $50.00 to have it done.  

Nice job, they look great.

Thanks

Sweet!

Very nice. Enjoy them for many years.

I will enjoy them! 

Pat, great job, they look like new.

great job. I need to get around to finding a project GG1.

Looks great!

225E is one of my favorites. What color/brand was the gold paint? Does it resist finger prints?

Valspar 66026 Classic Bronze and finish is tough as nails and resists fingerprints

2332 my favorite engine. You did a hell of a job with those 2 GG1's. Great work.

I'm glad to hear they run as good as they look--I'm envious! (And I mean that in a good way.)

Gee gee I  ...am jealous

Now for some heavy Madisons!

You'll need GG-1's double headed for the weight anyhow

If you didn't find the hidden smoke fluid reservoir yet, keep looking!

Does Pat's smoke fluid come in a big green bannana scent too?

Especially if you bake the finish for an hour in a toaster oven set on the lowest setting...

I like Pat's smoke fluid.  It is the only one out there that doesn't mess with my wife's asthma or set of our smoke detectors.  Last Pat told me, it is in one scent, but I miss most scents anyway with my deteriorated sense of smell.

Thanks, Guys for all the positive comments.

Best Regards

Pat
