Dreaming of a West Coast 4-8-4 at the head of your train? ScaleTrains' GS-4 4-8-4 steam locomotive in their Fox Valley Models line, in American Freedom Train paint, reproduces one of the handsomest American machines.
Built by Lima in 1941 and 1942, Southern Pacific's 28 GS-4s were skirted "General Service" 4-8-4s painted in the orange, red and black Daylight colors. They led the West Coast's premier trains between Los Angeles and San Francisco until the end of steam; #4449, the sole survivor, still runs today.
