Pre-Production painted sample of our upcoming Black GS-4 with "Southern Pacific Lines" lettering. During World War II, GS-4's would be used for both passenger and freight service depending on what was needed at the time. |

The N scale GS-4 has a functioning (simulated) Mars light as well as a directional headlight, perfect for keeping your N scale figures aware and off the tracks at night! |
 |
In addition to the standard illuminated locomotive number boards which bear the identification of the engine, the GS-4 had train number boards that would identify whether the train was northbound or southbound (or if the GS-4 was performing extra duty services, in which case it would bear an X and then its locomotive number on the board.) Each Kato GS-4 includes replacement boards so you can pick the appropriate train number, or if you want your GS-4 to be performing non-standard passenger service. |
 |
Like the real GS-4, the drivers on the Kato N scale GS-4 are powered by steel siderods. |
 |
The unsung hero of the steam locomotive; the tender. Without tenders, even the most powerful locomotive is nothing more than a paperweight. No detail has been spared in bringing the GS-4's tender to life, as it were, even down to sculpted wood paneling on the roof. |
 |
The N scale GS-4 features a fully detailed cabin interior, accurately modeled off the real world locomotive and with plenty of space for N scale figurines. |
