Description
So I finally found myself a model railway club that's not too far from home and put their test track to good use...This is one of the newer models I got, the SP GS-4 No. 4449 in AFT livery. She's a Bachmann loco, DCC fitted with sound and I can confirm she's a very smooth runner on DC as well.

I had one but it was 4446 and her recorder broker on the tender but now I have a Lionel HO Western Pacific GS-64

Shame it broke, but at least you got another nice one instead.

Yeah Bachman should at least improve how the decorders canβt break maybe they could make something to atleast prevent it from it or they can make it stuck inside the place where the decorders are like they did with the 722 and some models

Well I took my decoder out due to non-DC capable DCC in this locomotive and replaced the decoder with a blanking plate.

I have that exact model myself in Ho scale , I still remember when I first saw it, it looked amazing back then and still looks great today.

True that! Even though I am actually still looking for one in Daylight livery too, but regardless of the number.

Before Christmas there was one daylight mode with Christmas lights on it, it has leds all over it, it was blinding.

On another note, do you think this ever might appear in the series?

It is an interesting concept to work on, I'm pretty sure one day they will make use of this loco.

Itβs already been on YouTube in a series.

Yeah, I think I've seen it at some point. Might give HiT something to think about.

What do you think might show up in America in Season 21?

Not sure yet as I'm still catching up on things, been pretty dead in the TaF community for a long while and slowly coming back.

Watch as 4449 shows up or something lol.

That would truly be an amazing sight! But then I'd hope they will bring on the J as well.

I wonder how Gordon would react

Well I guess Gordon's first reaction is jealousy and pompousness as always.

Well they used to be madly in love, lol.Β

Great choice!Β There's another American Freedom Train locomotive near where I live -- a Reading T1 4-8-4 in Baltimore -- but she's rusted from exposure and is hard to see wedged between two other locomotives, so I'm glad to see this locomotive!

Shame to hear about the one near you. It would at least deserve a protected area to be shown off at rather than being out in the open, exposed to all weather conditions.
I'm planning on getting the loco in the SP Daylight colours as well, but doesn't necessarily have to be #4449.

She needs a second booty booty and a giant bald eagle cause Murcia.

Nah, she'll stay the way she is. The only thing I'm getting other than the Murica flag one will be the real Daylight one some day.

Will try to help with that :3 on the real daylight.

First it's ma babuh tho.

She's brand new, never ran her except for the test track at the club.

Here's hoping you get good use out of it.

Suddenly, a le wild Erika appeared. Great looking model, nearly got a cheap one at a thrift shop once, wasn't Bachamnn though, so I held off on it.

I'm still hoping to get her in Daylight colours too at some point. Dun necessarily need the same number though, can be any Daylight. ^^
