Next Stop, Hollywood . . .

Premier, of course. I'll try to track down my source...

It's all the result of the "compression" that non-scale items go through, it's also a shame.  If they're going to go to all that trouble to make a nice looking item, they ought to at least make it the right size.  8'-6" trucks could be put on the MTH car, but the wheel well would have to be cut larger, not by much though.

GGD will get them right.  Hope they get a lot of pre-orders at York.

I see their flyer has made it into the model magazines already

This looks like a good source. I forget where I bought mine.

Thanks Rex!  These are the Lionel (K-Line) trucks (6-22366) I've been using:

but the MTH ones appear to have better detail.

Just noticed this little item on the new/updated 3rd Rail website:

Something Old Something New:

 - To go along with our Silver Meteor, we are offering an updated version of our GG-1, with Canon Motors and all wheels powered. A much better drive system. Painted in Silver, Brunswich Green or Tuscan Paint Schemes.

Love that set. 

That is good news on the six axle powerfor GG1s.  If they do a retro kit, maybe I will re-do my FF1s, which suffer the same way.

I really like the detail. From 3" away they look as good as the massively expensive Wabash trucks

Any York reports on this?  So far, I've seen nothing
