I have a Pennsy GG1 by K-Line, don't recall the number on the box but from what has been mentioned that is about it for the GG1. The GG1 comes ready for hookup to TMCC, it has the wiring harness to install TMCC.  I was wondering if you could upgrade the GG1 to DCS, as I have a DCS system.

I think the IC is suppose to be CC.  At the end of all K-line engines with TMCC, the CC was added to the end of the product number to easily identify if the engine was command control equipped.  I don't have the K-line GG1 but I have seen it for sale at Eastern depot for around 250 bucks.

Jim,......Maybe I'm wrong, but it may mean " Illinois Central ".
