Yeah, I would have to say the Williams too.

I'd go with the Williams. But that price is very high. If I were you, I'd wait until they run their special on GG1s. $149. You are not dreaming! $149!

Ok guys, you have all but talked me into a GG1, something I have lusted over for many years(starting in the '60's). 

Here is the dilemma:  My LHS has a MTH GG1 (it's on display, and I can't remember the number on it).  It has a sticker on the bottom that says PS2 (proto sound 2?)  He'll stick on layaway for me with 10% down.  $350 + tax.  It is NOT scale (thank goodness!)

Just as a coincidence, I recieved a Williams flyer yesterday for a Semi Scale True Blast II for $250 plus $10 shipping.  They have 50% down + shipping then 25% a month (X2).

I have heard about some problems with the ProtoSound.  Which do you all think would be the better purchase?

 By the way, I'll be picking up my Lionel S2 today!!! (I'm giddy!!)

Thanks for all your help!
