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.
