My model RR could use one or more GG-1 locomotives in PRR (or, if worst comes to worst, PC ) livery. Putting aside the recent BLI model as way too expensive, I'm aware only of the IHC line. Any advice on various versions of the mechanism, drive, etc. that may have been produced over the years, and how to tell them apart, would be gratefully appreciated. <br /> <br />In addition, not being focussed on the Pennsy, I'd appreciate advice on the appropriate paint and striping schemes for 1972 and later for (1) passenger, and (2) freight. Recognizing (thanks to AntionioFP45's reminder) that by 1971 we were already afflicted with Amtrak, I suspect that some units didn't get repainted until well past the Penn Central merger, maybe lasting even into Amtrak days. So the question really should be, what were the last PRR schemes used, and how long they survived? <br /> <br />Thanks in advance for any help. I'm relatively new to this forum, but already have learned lots of useful things.
