2332
Pennsyvlania Black GG-1
---First produced in 1947, the Lionel
2332 GG-1 instantly became a fan favorite. Sleek in design and
built of sturdy die-cast, the GG-1 was a prized possession for
all who owned it. For the sake of being as prototypical as possible,
much time and effort was spent in the formulation of Pennsylvania’s
“Brunswick Green” paint. Brunswick, once referred to
as a can of black paint with a drop of green mixed in, proved
very difficult to replicate. That difficulty led to one of the
great controversies of the Postwar Era.
---During
one of the initial runs of the GG-1, it is said that perhaps as
many as a half-day’s production were painted black instead
of the intended Brunswick. Others say that by looking at those
engines in broad daylight you could see a hint of green, thereby
quashing the “conspiracy theorists”’ claims. Whatever
the case, the story of the black GG-1’s has been a hot topic
of debate for years. No matter which side of the argument you
fall on, we are sure you will agree that the Archive Collection’s
Black GG-1 is a must addition to any collection.
Features:
• Dual Pullmor motors, 12-wheel drive, TrainMaster Command
Control system, RailSounds sound system with CrewTalk chitchat
and TowerCom announcements, Die-cast body, trucks and pilots,
Magne-Traction track gripping system, Operating directional headlights,
ElectroCouplers, Metal ladders, Operating pantographs
• Scale: O-Gauge
• Minimum Radius: O-31
• Length: 14 1/2”
