Conrail "Bicentennial" #4800 GG1 Electric Locomotive, Kato #137-2015 N Scale

From the Manufacturer The GG1, one of the PRRs most famous and recognizable locomotives, is also one of the most curiously designed. Technically two locomotives under one shell (a "G" class locomotive is a 4-6-0 by PRR specification, therefore the GG1 was two "G" locomotives in a 4-6-0:0-6-4 arrangement) - this added up to a 4.6k horsepower locomotive that was staggeringly powerful, even by todays standards. Designed in the 20s, built in 30s and not retired until the 80s, the GG1 had an incredible lifespan and survives today as a testament to its time in both its unique Loewy-design and overwhelming performance. The original prototype GG1, #4800, enjoyed a long life and a number of paint schemes, including this special "Bicentennial" scheme that adorned it during the 1976 celebrations. Carrying a unique red, white and blue color scheme and adorned with 50 stars on each side and an image of the liberty bell, the locomotive joined the ranks of the Bicentennial Southern Pacific GS-4 and Burlington Northern Bicentennial "Spirit of 76" U30C in celebrating the United States 200th Birthday.
