I need parts for a Rivarossi/AHM GG-1. I need one of the trucks with a screw, both wheels, and contact plate. I also need the coupler pins and horn-hooks couplers/.

I have most of an ahm GG1 with some damage to one end's footboard/pilot assembly, and a front truck fell off. I want to strip the pantographs from it, and maybe yank the powered truck for a project. Would that leave enough parts for you?
I don't know anything about shipping from Long Island to Florida, and I'm not headed there anytime soon. . . but are you interested?

Aw shoot, that's the other part I was going to try and keep. I found an article in a model railroader that talked about how to double-motor a rivarossi GG1. Acording to my notes, I bought the unit just before school to get pantographs, a spare shell, a second motor, and wheels to kitbash a boxcab. The trucks look like they could work with an electric EMU I had wanted to do.
All of these ideas, and yet I don't know how to get started kitbashing. If I find a GG1 motor at the yard sale tomorrow, I'll see if I can nab it.
