Trix 22811 PPR CLASS GG-1 USA HEAVY ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVE 2005
COMPLETELY SOLD OUT AT TRIX ... BUT AVAILABLE THROUGH US WHILE STOCK LASTS!Prototype: Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) class GG-1 heavy general-purpose locomotive. 4-6-6-4 wheel arrangement. Built by General Electric and Westinghouse starting in 1934. Originally in special Brunswick Green design with "feather stripes". Use: Freight trains and passenger trains on PRR main lines, later Penn Central, Conrail and Amtrak.Model: Era II and III. The locomotive has a die-cast metal frame and body. DCC digital decoder with a sound generator. Powerful can motor with centrally mounted, with a bell-shaped armature. 4 axles powered in the two power trucks. 4 traction tires. Articulated running gear with 2 power trucks and 2 pilot trucks, to enable the unit to negotiate sharp curves. The headlights will work in conventional operation and can be controlled digitally. The headlights, engineer’s cab lights 1 and 2, acceleration and braking delay, and several operating sounds can be controlled digitally with Trix Systems or DCC. Powerful speaker. Large American design pantographs. Separately applied metal grab irons. RP 25 wheel sets. The couplers are compatible with the Kadee system. Length over couplers 280 mm / 11". This locomotive can be run on curved track with a radius as small as 360 mm / 14-3/16". However, we recommend a radius of 450 mm / 17-23/32" or more. A wider wiper for the pantograph may be necessary for operation under catenary mounted in a zigzag pattern or bent to follow a curve. A set of suitable wipers is available as a spare part: item no. 231801. Loewy’s Crocodile. In the 30’s in the middle of the deepest depression, the Pennsylvania Railroad PRR ventured to electrify their main routes in the eastern United States. The gigantic project included the repair and reinforcement of railway track, construction of new tunnels with greater clearance, as well as the integration of commuter lines. The first stretch extended from Washington via Baltimore, Wilmington, and Philadelphia to Penn Station in New York (including the commuter lines under the Hudson River). All that was missing was the suitable locomotive; up to that point the PRR’s long distance passenger trains were steam-powered. A multi-year test phase was begun. At the end of the tests a prototype built by General Electric and Baldwin in 1934 with a 4-6-6-4 wheel arrangement, was declared the winner. The GG-1’s data was impressive: 6 twin motors (a pair for each axle) put out a total of 3,445 kilowatts / 4620 horsepower with peaks even exceeding 5,965 kilowatts / 8000 horsepower. The pilot truck wheel diameter was 1.45 meters / 57 inches, the total weight 208 tons / 460,000 pounds, the length 23 meters / 79 feet 6 inches. The GG-1 reached speeds of 145 km/h /90 mph. The year before a designer, originally from France, applied for employment at the PRR. Most likely to get rid of him he was assigned to design the trash containers in Penn Station New York. The result was so impressive that he was invited to make a few suggestions for the design of the GG-1. Raymond Loewy pursued the task with thorough precision. Instead of the coarse, riveted superstructure assemblies of the prototype, he came up with a smooth-surface design. He provided an elegant, dynamic package for the mighty power of this machine. The superstructure assemblies gave the effect of being cast as single unit. They are harmoniously rounded and flow into each other without interruption. Five, sharply converging gold stripes on a dark green scheme underline the elegance. On the February 10, 1935, the PRR placed the electrified stretch between Washington and New York in operation. Thanks to its power reserves, the GG-1 shortened travel times and compressed the timetable. Consequently, the PRR also electrified its routes to the west. In total the PRR had 4,300 km / 2,677 miles under wire; this was more than 40 percent of the total electrified network of the USA. The PRR ran 3,500 passenger trains daily on its network. The 137 GG-1’s pulled more than 900 trains a day, including the prestigious express trains between New York and Washington. After being regeared, the GG-1 had a second career pulling freight trains which it usually did in m.u. operation.
