I finally completed my collection of Tyco GG1s, with this crisp example of a silver Pennsylvania RR GG1 #4866. Enjoy as it hauls mixed Tyco freight around my RETRO TYCO layout.

Nice assortment of freight. I did not know Tyco did a
B&M car. Pulls better than I thought possible, that
got new traction tires? Usually, I found my only Tyco G a bit light and not much for pulling power.

Yes, Tyco made a B&M 40' box car, operating hopper, and quad hopper. 
Actually, I believe this GG1 was already well serviced by the former owner, so the traction tires may have been replaced by them. If your Tyco GG1, any Tyco PowerTorque, or really any locomotive, does not haul much, it most likely needs new traction tires. Calumet Traction Tires are the way to go.
