Additional operating sounds can be controlled with Märklin Systems: bell, horn, the pantograph mechanism, and blower motors. Additional sounds can be controlled with the Central Station: the sounds of the relay system at work, cab radio "chatter", the sounds of couplers engaging, and the "clickety-clack" sound of the train running on jointed rail and the sound of squealing brakes. Large American design pantographs. Length over the couplers 28.0 cm / 11".
Highlights:

• Locomotive constructed of metal.
• Controlled high-efficiency propulsion with a powerful can motor with a bell-shaped armature.
• mfx decoder with many operating, light, and sound effects functions.
• Electric locomotive sounds as in the American prototype.

GG-1: Brunswick Green and Tuscan Red. The Pennsylvania Railroad did not introduce a new form of motive power with the electrification of its main routes in the Thirties; it introduced a new dimension of power for locomotives. The prototype for the GG-1 provided over 4,600 horsepower (3,400 kilowatts) with its 6 twin motors and short term it produced almost 8,000 PS (6,000 kilowatts). With 208 tons on an articulated frame with a 4-6-6-4 wheel arrangement, this locomotive was designed to pull heavy freight trains of up to 6,000 tons and fast passenger trains at speeds up to 145 km/h / 91 mph. Suitably simple adaptations to the gear drive were planned in the design of the locomotive. The French designer Raymond Loewy developed an unmistakable and unsurpassed shape for a locomotive from the prototype, which was similar to a "Crocodile" from the future. The timeless shape goes hand in hand with the indestructible technology for these locomotives, some of which were still in service into the Eighties. Most of the GG-1's were painted in the very dark Brunswick Green. They were designed for general use, and the drive gear could be changed at short notice for freight or passenger service. Several locomotives were used exclusively for the Pennsylvania Railroad's deluxe "Congressional Limited" trains. They consistently kept their high speed gearing and were painted in Tuscan Red, the dignified reddish brown for the entire fleet of the earlier "Pennsy" express train passenger cars. Both versions kept the typical gold colored striping and later broad bands on the GG-1 paint scheme up to the merger creating the Penn Central and the later distribution to Amtrak (passenger trains) and Conrail (freight trains) in the Seventies.

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 suitable wiper is available as a spare part: item no. 611073.

The GG-1 is being offered as a Trix model for 2-rail DC using the American standards: item no. T22812 (RP 25).

The headlight changes over with the direction of travel and can be controlled digitally. The diesel motor sound effects, bell, horn, and the acceleration and braking delay can be controlled with a Control Unit or Märklin Systems. The braking sounds and the Mars light function in the upper headlight changes over with the direction of travel, is at the front of the locomotive, and can be controlled with Systems. The two locomotive halves are connected to one another electrically and mechanically with special couplings. The locomotive has close couplers in standard coupler pockets at the ends; these couplers can be replaced by an American knuckle coupler or a cover hatch.

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.

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 suitable wiper is available as a spare part: item no. 611073.
