I noticed that Lionel's GS4 model uses the same main rod as their GS2 (straight instead of tapering outwards from the cylinder) which is incorrect. Has Lionel ever offered a replacement part for that?
@steelflexable The blinking of the mars light should be steady. Real ones never blinked, they swiveled. There is something wrong with your upper mars light, either that or it is the video because the blink is random. I have the same engine.
How do you make all that smoke? Is the engine made to put out that much smoke or do you add a lot of smoke fluid? I only add about 5-6 drops to my GS-2. P.S. I love the GS-4! I saw it at the Lionel train hobby shop I go to!
I still think that MTH makes a better version. The sounds, especially the talking, sounded chessey. Plus that was the worst mars light I have ever seen.
u must be joke everyone in the scale train world knows mikes has the worst sounds and mike takes the cheap way out by using the same sounds in over 75% off there locos
The GS4 loco had an air horn, like a diesel I believe. I see it on pictures of this loco. This was a very cutting edge steam loco back then, the pinnacle of steam technology. Right before total dieselization...
and the prices are nuts!

What is wrong with the headlight?
shnimmuc 1 year ago
@shnimmuc The headlight is meant to flash. They did that on the real GS-4s

@shnimmuc It's just that everyone I've seen has a flickering light. I guess that may be a common problem

How do you do the air horn and the whistle when there is only one button?
Weiberts 2 years ago
There is a separate horn button. It is one of the number pad buttons. This is legacy, so it adds an icon for the horn.
