Trainz "short GG-1"

Re: Trainz "short GG-1"
A lot closer, missing a main axle and the curvature of the roof line is off. Way better than the butcher job on the lettering of the NYC box cab in the other post.
Once I built a railroad, I made it run,
Made it race against time.

Brother, can you spare a dime?

Re: Trainz "short GG-1"
I wonder it the builder tried a "what-if PRR did a streamlined version" of an O-1:

Maybe that was the thought but it didn't quite make it.

You are a very generous person..........

Re: Trainz "short GG-1"
The person that actually built the unit probably did know it was an attempt at a P-5A. It is being sold "used" as a "short GG-1" probably because most people wouldn't even know there was a P-5A.
Pretty nice work and they got a lot of the P-5A "right". Extra middle truck axle (even a "dummy") and moving the pantographs nearer the center cab would have made the model more accurate. I wonder what made him (or her) make the weird roof line. Did it start life as a kitbash of a "traditional" GG-1 shell?

Person who wrote the listing probably doesn't know there was a P-5A. Everything is a GG1 to some people.

Probably.
