#4883 is a given as far as GG1s go. It was one of two NJ DOT assigned GG1s with a yellow stripe. The other, 4880, would have been a little tricky to do since it has those "side steps" recessed into the sides. Rather than try to carve a die-cast shell, 4883 offers an excellent alternative.

Not only is it most like the BLI model, but it also had a PRR keystone remaining on its "F" end.

Here it is at South Amboy in 1981. It will be the last "striped" GG1, and will linger on after retirement in a deadline until 1986, and will be one of the last GG1s scrapped.

A close up of the nose in june 1979. This is PERFECT, since this is the time I model, and it means I don't have to obscure the keystone with any kind of weathering!
