Dear paulsafety, <br />If you replace your GG-1 traction motors with motors from an EMDGEMPIWHOMEVER model SDGPEFAEM 40-70-90-4400ACDC-2-7-9 whatever, with new US&S/somebody superelectrocabsignaling and HEP cross-bilateral-multisimplo-transreinducing-composite-solid-state whatevers, and all you save is the body what you are hearing is not the GG-1. What you are experiencing is not the GG-1 except to a small extent. Is what you are really experiencing much better than a tape player on an unmodified GG-1? <br /> <br />I would be a fool to deny that certainly, for the good of the historic restoration, some things would need to be modified or replaced. However, much of what I have heard here in the way of restoration needs are really not needed to return a GG-1 to operation in a historic context, but rather to turn it in to "dream choo-choo [:)]." <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br />Daniel Parks
