The investment kept employees working during the lean years and would pay dividends as World War II brought record-setting traffic levels to what was already the world's busiest rail corridor.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs part of these improvements, the Standard Railroad of the World needed a new locomotive for mainline operations. True to its engineering pedigree, the Pennsylvania began vigorous testing of two potential designs in 1934. When the victor was chosen, Raymond Loewy was given the task to refine the new power house into a modern beauty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLoewy's vision – a locomotive which appeared to be already at speed as the passengers walked beside it on the station platform – provided not only a fitting shroud but a unique form as striking and iconic today as it was on its debut.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile the public marveled at their looks, railroaders quickly came to respect these new motors for what lay under the hood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDesigned to propel heavy passenger trains at sustained 100 mph jaunts, the GG1's were quickly proven capable of much more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA total of 139 locomotives were completed by 1943. Used in both passenger and freight service throughout their careers, GG1's could be found on everything from the Broadway Limited to ore trains.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe legendary status of the GG1 grew stronger with age. Outliving the PRR itself, the G's went on to serve Penn Central, Amtrak, Conrail and New Jersey Transit. They finally lost their grip on the catenary in 1985. Today 16 of the memorable motors have been preserved in museums, some far from the corridors they once owned.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLEGACY™ Control System equipped – able to run in LEGACY™ Control Mode, in TrainMaster Command Control mode, or in Conventional mode with a standard transformer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOdyssey®II Speed Control\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLEGACY RailSounds® system featuring:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStereo and localized sounds with speakers at each end of the locomotive\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCab number – specific CrewTalk dialog and TowerCom announcements, each with different scenarios depending on whether the locomotive is in motion or stopped.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSix official railroad speeds with CrewTalk dialog\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRealistic electric locomotive motor and background sounds synchronized with the locomotive's speed\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLEGACY™ \"Real-Time Quilling Horn\" control with instant response for realistic \"quilling\" and correctly timed warning signals\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSequence Control plays the sound effects of an entire trip, including warning sounds and announcements, based on the movement and speed of the locomotive\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCurrent speed dialog\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDual sprung pantographs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOperate automatically with train start-up, change in direction and shut down\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"De-icing\" mode with both pantographs raised\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCan be manually triggered with remote\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIndividual on-off switches on locomotive to lock out feature\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSprung for better tracking under model catenary\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Catenary arc\" lighting effect\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIR Sensor Equipped\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFan-driven smoke unit (steam generator)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDual powerful maintenance-free motors\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElectroCouplers™ at each end\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDirectional lighting\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIlluminated classification lights\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTraction tires\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInterior cab illumination\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDie-cast metal body, pilots and trucks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHigh level of separately applied detail parts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeparately applied etched builders plates\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHigh air intake screens where appropriate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCab window \"glass\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEngineer and Fireman figures in cab\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRail Line: Pennsylvania\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRoad Number: 4800\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGauge: O Gauge \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eScale Type: Scale\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEngine Type: Diesel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMin Curve: O72\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 20\" long\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMost Recent Catalog: 2016 Lionel Signature Edition\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis item has been graded per TCA standards C-7: Excellent based on visual appearance.
