Technically two locomotives under one shell (a “G” class locomotive is a 4-6-0 by PRR specification, therefore the GG1 was two “G” locomotives in a 4-6-0:0-6-4 arrangement). This added up to a 4.6k horsepower locomotive that was staggeringly powerful, even by today’s standards. Designed in the 20’s, built in 30’s, and not retired until the 80’s, the GG1 had an incredible lifespan (even when they were cut in two and run as GGS) and survives today as a testament to its time in both its unique Loewy-design and overwhelming performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eConrail and Penn Central\u003c\/b\u003e: Thanks to the long life and usefulness of the GG1, many outlived the PRR, finding themselves in Penn Central – and later in their life, Conrail – paint. These locomotives were used in everything from freight service to pulling Amtrak Passenger trains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sectionTitle\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eModel Features:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sectionContent\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"content\"\u003ePRR Units are designed to accompany the Kato Broadway Limited\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"content\"\u003eBlackened metal Pantographs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"content\"\u003eAble to go through an 249mm (9) radius S-Curve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"content\"\u003eShock absorber construction gives even traction and performance, even on the roughest track\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"content\"\u003ePowerful mechanism able to pull a full 15 car Broadway Ltd.
