(...) Paul, I don't think any of your posts have been too critical. Critically evaluating a set is great. Honestly, I feel badly that two of my designs that went out won't quite work with a motor. On the other hand, when I built my trolleycar the (...) (17 years ago, 6-May-07, to lugnet.trains)

Brickshelf user jmcollaco's (URL) gallery> has instructions for a GG1 made only with the parts from a single 10183 set. I built it today and can say it's a great model that adds even more value to the 10183 set. Here's a pic: (URL) I came up with a (...) (17 years ago, 6-May-07, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
