The 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. 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\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e‘Postwar’ Black\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e - 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\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000; font-size: large;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eFULLY LOADED by Duford Model Works exclusively for Lombard Hobbies:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eModel Features:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eDesigned to accompany the Kato \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/lombardhobby.com\/kato-n-106-063-southern-pacific-lines-morning-daylight-10-car-passenger-set\/\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #0000ff;\"\u003eSouthern Pacific Daylight\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e Passenger Train Sets\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003ePowerful enough to pull all 18 Daylight Series passenger cars\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eDrivers are operated by functional side rods for smooth performance\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eElectrical pickup from both driver and tender for constant electrical connection\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eDirectional, operating ‘simulated’ Mars light\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eDirectional headlight\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eIlluminated number boards\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eDetailed cab interior\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eFront and rear Kato magnetic knuckle couplers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003eAll detail parts installed\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTender includes installed operational lights\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExclusive DCC\/ESU LokSound V5 model from Duford Models\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e**Lombard Hobbies Recommendation - As modelers ourselves we highly recommend ONLY running DCC on DCC systems and DC on DC systems, regardless of 'Dual-Mode' capability.
