Does anyone know where this was manufactured?
I think it is a 2001 production, but I believe some items may still have been made in MI at that time.

I believe the GG-1's of that era were Korean made.

The black 2332 (18343) is one of the last American made locos.
It has AC motors and still uses some postwar parts. Proof is it is assembled with American screw sizes. Off shore production would use metric thread screws.
Well, Jon and Chuck are both right.
The 18343 "Black" GG-1 used chassis mostly built from parts originating with the run of the GG-1s in the 6-21782 Congressional Set.
BUT because of the decoration bottleneck in the plant, the bodies were painted and decorated in Korea, and then shipped to the US for assembly.
I hope this helps.

Thanks to everyone and to Paper TRW for sharing his knowledge. So, I guess this could be classified as the last American made GG1? I do have the Congressional GG1 (thank you Paper TRW) and it has a nice finish and is a smooth runner. Is this true for the 18343 (nice finish and smooth runner)?
