Did Williams release a set like this? I don’t know, but if they didn’t, they should have!

The Williams “set” is a new classic.
Totally!
I have the same K-Line GG-12 with four Madison Pennsy cars. Recently acquired a Lionel 681 turbine as an alternate puller for the passenger cars. Great fun, thanks.
Both fantastic options to pull some Pennsy cars!
Those cars are super nice! Especially the finish on them. Everyone loves the Broadway Limited I think.
Totally! The Broadway is the best 👍
Maybe some hard core 20th Century Limited fans don't like the Broadway, but they're a minority!
Mmmmm sharp shiny and smooth, what could be nicer ?
I really don’t know! It’s a thing of beauty.
Nice! Can't go wrong with a Williams GG-1.
Seems like a solid runner. I have no complaints
Both of those combos look great together. Your layout looks as if a train were running through the Grand Canyon with the pink hue. Stunning!
Thanks. The Grand Canyon, yeah I planned that! Lol. I wonder if I’ll miss the pink once it’s covered
Awesome GG1!
Thanks!
They go together well. Great looking ! Very cool stuff!
Thanks!
Nice!
👍
This looks great.
It does.
Thanks!
Hi Dave. I just picked up a collection. In the collection was a 6 pack of Williams Broadway Limited cars. I really like them as well.
Nice! A gorgeous set of cars 👍
Just love those Gee's. lived in NE Philly and remember watching them run on Pennsy 4 track main line. It was interesting to watch the gg-1 pass traffic on I-95 ( speed limit at time was 60 mph ).
Nice! That must have been quite the sight!
An enjoyable video of some 'sets' of passenger consists, Dave! The Williams GG1 is a quiet runner and be a great model for anyone interested in starting a collection. I have a semiscale K-line GG1 I bought years ago. It's never been run, so I don't know the noise factor, but it's new in the box. Keep making videos, Dave. Always great content!
Thanks Tom. New in the box, nice. I think the k line gg1 I bought was, if not new, almost new. It makes a little metallic tinkling noise. Can’t figure out why. Not a big deal but quiet would be nice.
You are right! This set should exist, I’m surprised it doesn’t because like you said, “it makes a really good set”
👍 I love the look of it!
Amazing set you put together! Also interesting how the JLC Hudson is a match for your other PRR cars. I would be all in interested in the GG1 set but, I’ve got 2 crews doing home renovations now. They want to get paid so, my hobby budget will be a bit lean for a while haha! Nice episode Dave!
Thanks. Hope the home renovations are done by now, can’t have them tying up your train fund too long!
I have a set of these cars and a 2 motor GG1. It is the early 1980s Golden Memories build and paint it yourself kits, got it super cheap about $80 for the engine and cars, Seeing this I now wish mine had the same nice factory finish your set has with better trucks and couplers......at least I will have the pride of saying "I built it"
Sometimes the simple fact that you did it makes all the difference.
That is a great looking set even though they didn't sell as a set complete.
They should have!
That's a nice gloss finish on that GG1, reminds me of the 4877 GG1. I would have thought it was a complete set. Williams has it down pat with quality but not to fond of the sound cards, that won't stop me from buying them especially with their prices.
Yeah that “horn” leaves a bit to be desired!
That GG1 is extremely shiny. I personally like the more matte finish then the glossy finish. But the set looks great👌
I like a matte finish myself but that GG1 looks goooooooood! 😋
That’s one of the reasons I kept my K Line GG1 over this Williams one, even though the Williams runs a bit better.
That GG-1 is super quiet, and has great low speeds. I wonder if it's flywheel equipped? Really sharp looking and smooth running set.
Not sure about the flywheel but I believe so. It would run even better on a modern transformer!
@@dagryffynhobby Is that on your bucket list for the next York meet?
Considering how smoothly and quietly it runs I'd guess it has flywheel motors but the only way to find out for certain would be to remove the shell. Considering the pristine condition of the engine I wouldn't do that, unless it was mine. Why take a chance messing it up?
I checked my Williams 2012 catalog, the last one they did before "The Fall," and there's no GG1-Broadway Limited set, but in their "Golden Memories" line they did kinda-sorta have a "set" they called "The Great Cogressional." It comprised a Tuscan Red with "cats whisker" stripes GG1 and four aluminum Pennsy streamliner cars, with a two car add-on set also available.
All three articles weren't sold as a set though, which is why I put "set" in quotes. The GG1, the streamliner cars and add-on's were sold as separate items.
I'll also add I don't think I've ever seen the complete package for sale anywhere.
Interesting, thanks Wayne. In my opinion this “set” is a no brainer! They should have sold them like this.
Hey Dave, are the passenger cars 18”? I’ve just bought a K-line PRR GG1 and I’m curious how the K-Line heavyweights will look behind it.
No the passenger cars in this video are about 14 or 15”
@@dagryffynhobby thanks! I ordered 18’s anyways lol. They’ll work I suppose
@@NSModelRailRoading they will. I’ve since picked up some of the k-line heavyweights and they look amazing
I've always wanted a gg1 but I'm a traditionalist and I want to kind of stick with Lionel.. the other side of that coin is I can't find one affordable or in my price range
Understandable and that’s why I ended up with a K Line version. Looks the same but in good condition at a fraction of the price. I would of course much rather the postwar Lionel version but in circumstances like this I am ok with a copy.
Pristine post-war Lionel twin-motor GG1's are still bringing respectable money and will do so for the forseeable future. If you don't mind compromising on exterior quality you can probably find one at a decent price.
I can more than understand brand loyalty but there's nothing wrong with MTH, K-Line, or Williams GG1's.
I think u should buy this set u should
I agree, but unfortunately I sold it 😔
Hello I have williams gg1 all diecast metal and metal gears and body its the golden Memories also I'm pulling scale freight car and I hope to get the scale pennsylvania scale Madison cars
Very nice 👍
@@dagryffynhobby I like your layout and how you run the old lionel engine
Did not Lionel put out a gg1 with three Madison cars in the 1950s?
I believe they did.
Or I'd buy a powered unit mine don't have an e unit
You could always add an e unit with mechanical or electronic.
Contact me about the stock you want to move. I got the email about a list but never got the actual list. Thanks man.
Tim
Did I ever send you the list?
I haven’t made much progress thanks to Covid, but I’m planning a video on it all soon
@@dagryffynhobby yes you do. Thanks for checking.
