Galloping Goose

General Discussion
#1

Would anybody know who it was that produced the last Galloping Goose in G scale? What size was the production model?

#2

William,

Accucraft has made the most accurate ones in 1:20.3 they have done #2, 4, 5, 6(Berlin) & 7 in various eras, so you get to pick and choose. they generally have a couple available at any time.

Bachman put out a model of one too, in 1:2.3 scale…much less expensive…even came in RGS lettering…I had one around here for a long time, Bill; but never ran it…sold it not long ago, to one of our American visitors…

#4

And Aristo did one in brass. Or, more accurately, that had one done for them in brass.

#5

Thanks all; it was just a query of interest!

#6

I was not aware that Aristo did one of the geese… they made a couple of rail buses but not any of the famous D&RG geese.

Also, Berlyn is the proper spelling not Berlin for those researching.

Both are battery powered, but just the van has RC and a sound system…:wink:

Oh, and the one in the top pictured had it’s number changed to No 2.

#13

This is not one of the “official” geese, but the Casey Jones, by Berlyn… the original is still operational.

It has 4 speakers and a sound system hidden under the seat.

Ken; I like that 1 with the beige/yellow tarpaulin. If it’s not to dear & still available; I could be interested in making a deal!
