HO Scale Paragon4 Sound/DC/DCC Steam Locomotive with Smoke

A stunning fantasy-painted Southern Pacific GS-4 that pairs iconic streamlined steam power with the elegant two-tone gray styling of the Lark.

Product Overview

The Southern Pacific GS-4 is one of the most celebrated streamlined steam locomotives in American railroad history. Known for its powerful 4-8-4 wheel arrangement, dramatic streamlining, and association with Southern Pacific’s premier passenger service, the GS-4 remains a favorite among collectors, operators, and steam-era enthusiasts.

This Broadway Limited Imports release presents the GS-4 in a striking Lark Two-Tone Gray fantasy paint scheme, imagining how Southern Pacific’s famous streamlined Northern might have looked dressed for one of the railroad’s most elegant overnight passenger trains. The gray passenger scheme gives the locomotive a refined, sophisticated appearance while still preserving the bold presence that made the GS-4 such an unforgettable machine.
