Double your traffic. KATO N GG1 Electric,Pennsylvania Brunswick Green, Single Stripe TheGG1, one of the PRR's 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 today's standards. Designed in the 20's, built in 30's, and not retired until the 80's, the GG1 had an incredible lifespan (even when they were cut in two and run as GG�'s) and survives today as a testament to its time in both its unique Loewy-design and overwhelming performance. The Tuscan Red Five-Stripe paint scheme was, for all intents and purposes, exactly the same as the more common Brunswick Green "Modified Loewy" paint scheme, simply substituting the green for PRR's signature Tuscan Red color. This paint scheme was introduced in 1952, and in the end was worn by 10 of the GG1's in service on the PRR.
