I still don't understand what the difference is by using a different transformer rated for the same electricity to hypothetically power a rejuvenated GG1, but people on this board seem to think it would create a different feel.
I'd be fine with putting modern electrical gear inside a GG1. I guess the problem is finding a proponent with deep enough pockets, and choosing which of the many remaining GG1s gets the makeover.
On an unrelated note, I wish they would cosmetically restore #4876 and put her on display in Washington somewhere. She, after all, has history there, having been the only GG1 to visit the basement of Washington Union Station.
