Bud, Stan --

I had purchased two and a half GG1s when they first appeared on the market -- 
One to run as-is, one to cut up into the loco on the photo plus a boxcab 
switcher, and a powered chassis sans body, which will become a New Haven EP-3.

My road's classification scheme shows 4-6-4 locos to be Class M.  The two 
electrics I have of that wheel arrangement (2-C-2) are an M-1 boxcab and the 
pictured M-5a streamlined version.  It is fairly close in appearance to the PRR 
Class P5a.

Stan -- That prototype photo you posted sure is an ugly GG1 bash.  I'd be 
embarrassed to have something like that on my NYW&B!
