4-8-4 GS-4 w/Proto-Sound 3.0

BNSF American Freedom Train No. 4449

Die-Cast !

Constructed by Lima Locomotive Works, inventor of the super-power concept, the 4-8-4s had the combination of power and speed that characterized steam power at its zenith.

Class GS-4 engines, delivered in 1941 and 1942, were among the last and best-looking of the breed, with tall 80" drivers and enclosed all-weather cabs.

In addition to handling premier passenger trains, the 4-8-4s were regularly used in high-speed freight service on the San Francisco-Los Angeles Overnight.
