You make it seem more complicated then it really is. 1. Get a GG1 2. Disassemble 3. Send frame/trucks to China for restoration 4. Send electricals to Europe for restoration 5. Scrap steam generator to gain space. 6. recieve frame from China 7. recieve electricals from europe 8. Install Transformer to change 25 kV to 11 kV - install instead of steam generator 9. Install frequency converter from 60 Hz to 25 Hz - with HEP from there. 10. Install other essentials, assemble the locomotive 11. GG1-2 ready to run in multifrequency/voltage version. GG1 tap transformer can be mineral oil cooled, no need for PCB, also frequency is irrelevant for the transformers - given it is big enough (the bigger frequency, the smaller the transformer!). So the system would look like this: 25/11 kV conversion transformer -> Main transformer -> frequency converter/hep -> motors. conversion transformer and frequency converter are optional - so the loco could run on any electricity on the NEC. Then all you need is FRA allowance, a few heavyweight coaches and Viola - Congressional Limited ready.
