I picked up a new in box MTH GG-1, it should be arriving within the next week or so.
I have searched around and can’t find much info on this piece so I am asking if anyone here knows anything good or bad on this item.
This came out while I was away from the hobby so I missed the discussions (if any) that may have been around.
Hopefully I have better luck with it then I did my MTH Hudson!
I remember seeing blowout sales on these. I should have grabbed at least one. I did not. I have a lot of their products and believe you should be happy with it. If I can help let me know. It’s a great deal with built in sound. It looks well detailed too. I just wasn’t interested in that era. I was focusing on modern stuff. I heard some new models will be coming and will grab them when I can.
I recently started getting some MTH gauge 1 models that I had missed. Their VO1000 for example. It really runs great.
Put some oil on the axles when you get it and have some fun.
I am hoping the GG-1 will operate as well as the VO1000 (I have two of these).
They run fantastic, I am just worried about getting another lemon like I did with there Hudson which is now just a shelf queen.
I have to look back at your post about the Hudson. I had thought you had sold it. They are a tough, well built engine.
Well the GG-1 should be arriving tomorrow (8/6/14) via UPS.
Hopefully it makes it in one piece and then I can give my own review on it!
I hope all’s well and you’re having fun with it. Share a picture when you can.
I put some pictures of it up in the What’s New section the other day.
