Applying "Rich's Law of Inversion", it will look less appealing as the price rises.

Then there is the CANTenary factor, which means it will look stupid running WITHOUT overhead wires. I just never could buy into GG1's flying by powered by air.

catenary definition: a curve formed by a wire, rope, or chain hanging freely from two points and forming a U shape: "a catenary wire"

After registering those complaints, I like it too, Dave! If you're going East of Harrisburg the electric stuff is iconic of the PRR.

I actually prefer the boxcabs (they sure got that one correct) to the psuedo GG1, aka the P5a. Those dual pantagraphs cancel the boxy styling.

I was going to snipe that (to go with my MG P-5) but something more interesting has popped up.

Up to 103 with 4d left.
Never had anything MG, never had a real electric (Lionel 520 with single plastic pant don't count).

Might find someone to bid for me unless it gets stupid.

If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking.
