I'm a big fan of the PRR myself and in my model train collection I have an O gauge Williams (Lionel-compatible) GG1.

I've also been to the Pennsylvania RR museum in Strasburg and got pic of PRR GG1 #4935 on my website at: https://northamericabyrail.info/usa-east/strasburg-railroad/

BTW thanks for the compliments and for checking out my pics, always a pleasure to meet a fellow rail aficionado, serious or not!
