Kato USA will be releasing a new 'Post War' version of the GS-4 in her late Southern Pacific lettering and rear-mounted number boards, as it looked in the years following WWII. \"Postwar\" black - Like the wartime black, these GS-4's had rear mounted train number boards but replaced the traditional \"Southern Pacific Lines\" lettering with the larger \"Southern Pacific\" on the tender.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe GS-4 runs on eight massive 80” drivers, 300lbs psi boiler pressure, and puts out a roaring 5,500 horsepower at 55mph, with a maximum speed of 110 mph. The large drivers gave the locomotive a high top speed; the telling mark of a steam engine built for passenger service. The GS-4 was built for the Southern Pacific Railroad by the Lima Locomotive Works and delivered in the early 1940’s for the SP’s premier passenger trains, finding its way to the Daylight series of name trains. One of the more unique specifications for the GS-4 by the SP was its Mars light, a necessity with the large amount of grade crossings and fog present on the West Coast. The Mars light, like ditch lights on modern locomotives, was utilized as a warning for grade crossings that a high speed train was approaching, its shifting light patterns serving as an eye catcher in foggy conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDesigned to accompany the Kato Southern Pacific \"Morning Daylight\" Passenger Train sets, able to pull all 18 cars without assistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDrivers are operated by functional side rods for smooth performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eElectrical pickup from both driver and tender for constant electrical connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDirectional, operating (simulated) Mars light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDirectional headlight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIlluminated number boards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDetailed cab interior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFront and rear kato magnetic knuckle couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAll detail parts installed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDCC friendly design, designed to take the EM13 Motor Function Decoder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLength: 21.5cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Kato","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42670135247004,"sku":"KA126039","price":449.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0585\/9095\/3628\/files\/KA126039.webp?v=1738888366","url":"https:\/\/www.harveynorman.lol\/products\/n-s-pac-gs4-black-4445","provider":"Hobbyco","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
