N scale GG1??

[PRRThomas11]

I'm a big collector of n scale PRR. One thing I can't find is a GG1. Anyone know where I can find one??

Arnold made a mediocre model twenty years ago, which I've heard is getting both expensive and scarce. Try eBay or a train show. If you want some hope, there's a rumor going around that Kato is going to be making one. I can't verify, though.

Have patience!  Kato has announced a GG-1.  No firm date yet, but its in the pipeline (along with the Broadway Limited cars).

Honest answer?  In one of the write-ups  that I've read about the hobby show.  I'll have to look back to find the actual source, but I do remember a GG-1 featured on a poster in the back of Kato's booth.  Stay tuned while I backtrack through the forums.

Okay, this from the Atlas forum, a list of known show announcements:

If you need more, just Google Kato GG-1.

Here's a photo of the GS-4:

Excellent! Thanks guys!

It appears that the GS4 & Daylight may be in for Nov-Dec delivery.
The GG1 & Broadway may appear sometime in 2008, perhaps as late as the NTS next year.  You may have some time to save some $$ till then, or work some OT.

If you go to Kato's homepage and look at the new poster, it shows the GG1 on it now.

[nscaler711]

if it does then where because i just now looked at the Homepage and its not there nor is it on any listings as new or Coming Soon items.

You need to do the right clickity click I guess.  This seems to be the direct link to the poster in pdf format (~1.5MB)
