Model Railroading > Ho Scale Green Goat SwitcherDate: 02/17/17 12:16 Ho Scale Green Goat Switcher Author: apollo17 Does anyone know if there is any supplier that sells the RailPower GG20 Green Goat switchers? I don't know if there were any built in ho scale as I haven't been able to locate them if they were. Thanks for any help.

The Green Goats came in so many versions and were so unsuccessful that I doubt if you'll see one in plastic. (Are any prototypes still running, not counting the genset version?)

Date: 02/19/17 05:18 Re: Ho Scale Green Goat Switcher Author: apollo17 I always thought the short nose and big windows on the cab looked good, but from what I've read about this particular model, it left alot to be desired on the power end of things. Maybe I could just buy one of the HO scale versions of another model of genset and rebuild the cab to what I want.
