In need of additional power during the war, Lima delivered ten GS-6
class Northerns. The Western Pacific received six copies as well. All of
the locomotives were delivered without the streamlined skirting and
Daylight colors which had adorned the four previous classes. The
locomotives served well through the war and beyond, working passenger
and freight assignments. Lionel is pleased to bring these beautiful
locomotives back again, for the first time with Bluetooth and Whistle
Steam. Although these locomotives never got the full Daylight treatment,
their semi-streamlined look is none-the-less appealing. When adopting
the larger SOUTHERN PACIFIC lettering, an alternate scheme using the
round herald was also proposed and applied to two locomotives before
entering service, with different sized heralds on each side. Management
decided to go the other way on this one of course, but we're presenting
it here as an interesting "what if." The Western Pacific's locomotives
were also utilitarian black, but the thought of their appealing F-unit
paint schemes on these locomotives was just too good to pass up for one
more "what could have been" model.
