<DIV>Here is the information that I have, since I purchased one.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It was imported by ALCO models just before they shut the doors due to other commitments.</DIV>
<DIV>There were a lot of different problems with this model, from what I heard. I had to rebuild the </DIV>
<DIV>frame in order to true it up. The gear box needed to be replaced( NWSL). I added lead to the </DIV>
<DIV>model to get it to pull and run better. With brass prices dropping, I believe it may be worth </DIV>
<DIV>about $200 or about $50 more than I paid for it in the 1980's.</DIV>

<DIV>Regards,</DIV>

<BLOCKQUOTE style="BORDER-LEFT: rgb(102,153,204) 3px solid">I recently acquired an Alco N&W G-1 2-8-0, HO brass model locomotive. It had a gearbox with zinc disease, which I managed to replace, and a few other, minor, problems. It now runs fine, and looks good to me.<BR><BR>
<DIV>I tried Googling the model, without results, and no hits on eBay either. The Brown Book says "quality problems", but not much else.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Can someone tell me more about this nice model engine ?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Was the G-1 very 'popular on the N&W ?</DIV>
<DIV>What is the N&W modelers opinion of this model ?</DIV>
<DIV>Why there is so little info around on the model ?</DIV>
<DIV>Any idea what the model is worth ?</DIV>
