Vision Line GG-1 Catenary Power Operation | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

wmswenOGR Forum Member

Is it possible to power the VL GG-1 through an overhead power catenary wire or is three rail track power the only option for running this locomotive? Unlike the older GG-1 ac pullmor motor versions, I'm guessing that the overhead catenary power is not an option with this VL version, but would like a more definitive answer, if possible. Thanks for any response to my post.

The VL GG1 ,as delivered, is not able to be powered via the pantographs. I'm sure some ingenious folks will find away to make it happen.

As is it will not do so. It can be done with some effort.
