Mystery GG1 [2 Attachments]

Richard Ferrara

Sean: there are several early manufacturers of cast GG-1's. Varney of course but yours looks a bit less well detailed (?) but it's tough to say with my old eyes. Other mfr's. are Winton & also Schraeder as I recall. Some old (1940's +) MR ads might help... I don't have any that old anymore. I hope this helps & good luck.? ?Richard Ferrara, Richardson, Texas

Hi Guys!

I have a New Year's mystery locomotive here...

It is a die cast metal GG1. It does not appear to be the typical GHC Japan import and it definitely is not the Penn Line version.

Please look at the listing photos closely! Note the brass chassis power truck & 1 dummy truck and the die cast pantograph frames. The pantographs even seem to be not typical.

Any input is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
?

Sean
