I didn't see the Gs-4, although I liked the nose of the Gs-6 better.

I voted for the GS4.The SP Daylight is my favorite by far.
[;)]I am assuming by GS4, you meant the SP steamer.On the PRR, a GS4 was a GE 44 Ton diesel switcher. G=GE,S=switcher,4=400HP[}:)].
Ride Amtrak. Cats Rule, Dogs Drool.

N&W's Class A is a horse of a loco. It will pull all 8 sets of my N&W coal cars (48) along with 20 more freight cars and a caboose on my club's layout which has a 1.3% grade leading to a 1.8% grade. I never have to supply more than 35% of available power. She is my pride and joy.

Hard to beat the GN Mountains for rugged handsome passenger power. And the SP Sacramento built Mountains were also excellent performers.

The Norfolk and Western's J and the Pennsylvania's T1, especially the early production examples (6110-1). They both seem like an excellent fusion of speed and aesthetics.

The N&W's A and Y6b are of course immediate runners-up and far better choices for freight service. Throw the N&W M in there for fun.
