Description
Before the Daylights came the GS-1 - as attractive a 4-8-4 as you'd find anywhere even without the extra shrouds. The "Golden State" GS class was also dubbed "General Service" as these locomotives were equally at home in passenger and freight duty. As the streamlined classes arrived, many of the GS-1s found their way onto secondary passenger and freight trains across the system. This class also has the dubious honor of being renumbered more than any other GS, making their history a little harder to follow. At various times, the locomotives bounced between the SP and the T&NO subsidiary and often changed numbers in the process. Some wore as many as 4 numbers in their careers and some numbers were used multiple times. All of our models are based on prototype photos to ensure we've matched the right details to the road numbers. All represent locomotives that have had their cross-head guides updated to the multiple-bearing type as found on later GS classes and our other models. The GS-1 is the perfect candidate for Lionel's next Brass Hybrid locomotive! These models have all of the same features as our die-cast VISION GS locomotives including reciprocating cylinder and whistle steam. Locomotive boilers will be made of brass and loaded with all of the fine details that make these models unique. For tenders, either a new brass 160- C-4 tender or die-cast 220-R-1 tender will be used as appropriate. Long overshadowed by more famous and stylish classes, the GS-1 has never been offered in 3-Rail O scale before, and never with this level of authentic detail and features! Don't miss this one-time opportunity to complete your SP roster.
