I'm in a GG state of mind... (sung to the tune of "New York State of Mind," by
the great Billy Joel).
The first picture is the G on the Armodilloville Layout, which I hope to fire
up today, good Lord willing, and the creek don't rise...and the others were
taken at the model train club. After quitting the club after 20 years, I had
worried maybe that it wouldn't be as fun not to be able to run fifteen plus
car trains on the 4x8, but I find that whether 4x8 or 15 x 40 it is just
as interesting, if not more so, because my stuff works better.

| I want one of the old school metal Penn Line GG1s. One with terrible paint, and a few problems to fix along the way. Then I'll give it a fresh coat of paint, some decals... Oh yeah, that would be nice.

Nice custom PC GG1, Chops! I remember back to when you first got that, and it was a Tuscan Red Pennsy GG1. 
My LOTW is this classy AHM Atlantic Coast Line (ACL) RR C-Liner.

Nice C, RP. Blax, we can only imagine what you’d do
to fix an old G!

Yep! Google "ABPF #210 4-6-0" to see the real thing.
Mine is very, very, VERY close to being a spot on replica, with some minor inconsistencies. If I ever take it apart and redo it, I'll...
Make a new smokebox front
Raise the running boards up a bit
Add the valve gear
That's it! But for now, I'm happy with it.
