I am using an Uhlenbrock 76500 decoder. The loco has two motors with fly wheel. The next picture shows the pick-up. The last picture shows the GG-1 in the front. Behind it is a Tyco GG-1 from the 70'. It is not very prototypical, but was my first GG-1 converted. The purple wire for the pick-up will be painted black. Hans

How does it handle the m-track (5100?) R-1 equivalent? I've always thought about getting one. This would be one to have. I almost bought the Broadway Ltd. model. p.

But I think I can resolve the problem by conveniently adding a coil spring. However, I am still searching for a proper spring. The loco is long so the body swings out quite a bit. I know about the Broadway Ltd. but that model was too expensive for me to just buy it and try out a conversion.
