Its kind of sad when GG-1 displayed in a Green Bay museum appears to be in much better shape than a GG-1 on display in Altoona, PA.

Sad, but there are plenty of GG1's around. The ones at RRMPA in Strasburg are gorgeous! There are plenty of Big Boys around, too, if you consider that out of 25 built, eight have been preserved. Two are displayed inside and it appears most, if not all of them get regular paint and maintenance.
