New for 2007, M.T.H. introduces the most fully-featured, fun-to-operate GG-1 in one gauge. Built to full 1:32 scale proportions, the RailKing GG-1 captures the sounds, the power, and the drama of the Pennsy's premier electric. Proto-Soundr 2.0 provides an authentic GG-1 horn and bell, cooling fan sounds, crew talk, and station announcements for actual Pennsylvania name trains. Pantographs slowly raise and lower each time you change direction, ensuring the rear pantograph is always up. The train heat boiler emits periodic bursts of smoke. Speed control provides the same smoothness as the prototype, at speeds from 3 scale miles per hour to full throttle. Enjoy the M.T.H. GG-1 in five authentic paint schemes, including Raymond Loewy's original pinstripes, the single broad stripe introduced in 1955, and Amtrak's 1975 passenger scheme.
Automatic Pantograph Operation Explained
Users operating the GG-1 in conventional mode will find that by depressing the transformer's direction button to stop the locomotive, the rear pantograph will remain in the up position while the lead pantograph slowly rises up. Once the lead pantograph is in its up position, the rear pantograph will slowly lower into the down position. At this point another press of the direction button will cause the locomotive to reverse making the lead pantograph now the rear pantograph and in the up position.
In command operation two operating modes will be offered; auto and manual. Auto mode will behave similar to conventional mode with the rear pantograph in the up position when moving. The up and down movement of the pantograph will be direction controlled using the DCS Digital Command Control System. In Manual mode, the user will have to raise and lower both pantographs via the DCS System as they wish regardless of directional state.

Shipping
I do combine shipping when possible. Sometimes items are too large or fragile to put together. Please email me for items desired and your location.
I will work with you to get the lowest cost.
If for some reason the shipping cost seems unreasonable, please email to see if it’s correct...
the shipping calculator is sometimes wrong and I occasionally make an error on the size or weight.
I ship USPS or FedEx. Smart Post, which is a combination of FedEx and the USPS, is usually the least expensive for large items or you are located far away.
FedEx picks these up and the USPS delivers them. With that low cost though, you get very slow service.
Shipping to the West Coast could take 7-10 business days…it’s very slow but an inexpensive choice if you are not in a hurry.
