Greetings All,
Working on updating NALW's GG1 cabview. This is the closest I can figure. If anyone has any more suggestions I would appreciate it.
Thanks as always. KRO52

RE: Updated GG1 cab

Me Like.How about making the left side of the cab brighter? And how did you get the photos?

I believe that there's a museum in pennsylvania or somewhere that actually does have a GG-1, so I wouldn't doubt it so fast...-Yeah, that's right! The Raider Marching Pride!!!!! -You can never have too much inner beauty. Or socks.

RE: Updated GG1 cab

Yes, there is a GG-1 at the RRMP, and I have been there. They have a platform going up to the cab, but you don't have access in the cab. There are other places, like the Amtrak Station in Harrisburg, but again, no access. Here is the list of all of the surviving ones:
