I LIKE THE LOOKS OF YOUR GG1 SET I JUST GOT A RARE GG1 SET MY SELF ITS A 1950 #2159W WITH THE ONE YEAR ONLY #2330 GG1 ENGINE IN BRUNSWICK GREEN BUT THAT YEAR SET ONLY CAME AS A FREIGHT SET IT WOULD HAVE BEEN REALY NICE WITH THE MADISON OR IRVINGTON PASSENGER CARS LIKE THE EARLY LIONEL #2332 GG1 SETS DID FROM 1947-49 BUT I VERY PLEASED WITH THE SET I GOT I GOT IT WITH ALL THE BOXES WITH THE SET BOX IN REAL GOOD SHAPE AT A PRICE WAY BELOW BOOK VALUE OF $3,500 I GOT IT ALL FOR $280 :}

@grizzleybearz282004

Hello.Thank you for watching my video and for leaving me a message.

I am very satisfied with this BLI model.It is good to know that you got a rare GG-1 set.I understand you got one in O-scale.I assume it was expensive.

[grizzleybearz282004]

@musukari1031I YES ITS AN O GAUGE POSTWAR LIONEL TRAIN SET FROM AT THE PRICE THAT I PAID FOR IT ALL SOME PEPOLE WOULD SAY I STOLE IT! I PAID $280.00 + $25.00 FOR SHIPING FOR IT WITH ALL THERE ENGINE AND FREIGHT CAR BOXES AND THE #2159W SET BOX WITCH VERY HARD TO FIND LETS PUT IT THIS WAY THE SET HAS A BOOK VALUE OF $3,500 BUT BECAUSE ITS ITS VERY HARD TO FIND REAL COLLECTORS LIKE TCA MEMBERS AND DEALERS T.B.C

@EMDSD14R

Hello. Thank you for watching my video. I enjoyed your videos. You loaded up a lot of train videos.I liked your weathered trains,too.Your green GG-1 is very beautiful and awesome.

[EMDSD14R]

@houtokur8 thanks...its one of my favorite loco's..i also have three more but i can't run all four together bcause the BLI unit has to draw more power to start then the other three..but once i convert them to DCC tht won't be a problem..btw do u have any other GG-1's or any other BLI loco's?

[houtokur8]

@EMDSD14R

Hello.This Tuscan red GG-1 is the only electric locomotive that I have in HO scale. I want more though.

[EMDSD14R]

@houtokur8 well they still make em which is good..i need to get atleast two more BLI ones ...i saw this conrail unit once and it was very cool...but i hope u get another one!!

[houtokur8]

@EMDSD14R

Yea,I hope so.thank you.

[EMDSD14R]

@houtokur8 ur welcome....anytime... btw who made the cars in the train are they also BLI or Walthers?

[houtokur8]

@EMDSD14R

Hello.Those passenger cars are all Walthers made.I think they are well made but a little bit expensive.

[EMDSD14R]

@houtokur8 oh yeah they are one car cost me like 60 dollars and this was at a train show..but they are cool...i want to get the one's tht Rapido made..along with the LRC train set..tht thing is sweet!!

[houtokur8]

@EMDSD14R

Hello.Yes,It seems to me that the Rapido Trains passenger cars are very well made and more expensive than Walthers. But, we must handle their models with great care because they are very easy to fall apart. Especially their trucks are easy to break down and are impossible to be repaired.Shock!!

Yeah,the Bombardier LRC trains are quite cool and beautiful. I love it.

[grizzleybearz282004]

@houtokur8 THATS WHY I STOPED COLLECTING HO TRAINS I THINK MTH IS ABOUT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS HO TRAIN SETS THAT MADE TODAY TO HANDLE SOME STRESS THAT I KNOW OF BUT YOUR GOING TO PAY IN THE POSTWAR TIMES LIONEL MADE SOME HO SETS THAT WERE PRETTY WELL MADE THEN THAY DID IT GAIN IN THE 1970s BUT IT WAS NOTHER COMPAIRED TO THE ONES MADE IN THE LATE 1950s INTO THE ERALY 1960s BUT IF YOU LIKE HO AND WANT A REALY GOOD MADE ENGINE OR SET MTH AT THIS TIME IS THE WAY TO GO

[RailMachanic1]

Very nice GG1, I've been trying to find an HO one. where did you get your's?

[houtokur8]

@RailMachanic1

Hello.Thank you for watching my video.

I also had a hard time to get GG-1because BLI had stopped manufacturing it for long. I bought one for about $500 through e-Bay.

[Toria8796]

YOU NEED CATENARYS THOUGH

[houtokur8]

@Toria8796

Thank you for viewing my video and for giving me a comment.

Yes,GG-1 really needs catenarys. I am sorry I do not have a fixed layout.

Yes,GG-1 really needs catenarys. I am sorry I do not have a fixed layout.

[cab4]

If only there were more GG1 models out there. Think about catenary?

[houtokur8]

@cab4

Hello.Thank you for watching my video and for giving me a comment. I also enjoyed some of your videos.

Yes,I only have a single GG-1 and I want to have more.I checked e-Bay but I could not find one.Since I do not have a layout, I am afraid I can not set a catenary.

[Jared1452]

I have one of these. Great detail and quality.

[houtokur8]

Thank you for viewing my video and for giving me a comment.

Yes, this BLI made GG-1 is really well made and sounds pretty good. I love this locomotive. No wonder you enjoy your GG-1.

[astrotrain53]

Its a great video.

execpt only the back pantograph is supposed to be up.

[houtokur8]

Thank you for watching my video and for giving me a comment.

Yes,you are definitely right!! As a matter of fact,before posting this video I didn't know that GG-1 used only one pantograph. Many freinds told me so.

[NorfolkWestern34]
