Erik, those GS models are gorgeous! Thank you for sharing.
Also having access to a 30’ x 50’ layout to operate that set is pretty awesome. I’m hoping I’ll be able to get a 24’ x 35’ room for my dream layout but I may be pushing my luck a bit on size.
On a side note as an SP details obsessive, I don’t quite understand why all model manufacturers imediately associate the forward position train indicator boards with SP Lines lettering, especially on GS-4/5 models. This essentially restricts your modeling era to late 1941/42. SP started moving the train indicator boards mid-boiler on the GS-4’s in 1942 because the original forward position made them hard to read at night because of the added MARS light blinding station personnel. By 1943 all GS engines had their indicator boards moved mid-boiler so the position would be standard.
