Has Lionel stopped making the Gs4 SP Daylight?

It's catalog orders only. You can check with Forum sponsors or Hobby shops.

They'll likely be made again at some point. Most locomotives for either manufacturer are re released every few years.

You could post an ad on the "Wanted to Buy" forum, and see if anyone else knows of one at a dealer, or if you'd be interested in a used one thats an option too. 

Heres one that was on the For Sale forum back in December. You could contact the seller and see if he still has it available.

The MTH Premier GS4 is a nice model. I have one of the original issues from 1999 that has been upgraded to PS2. Still compares well with current offerings. 

Neither MTH or Lionel have "regular stocking" locomotives.  MTH just makes bigger batches so theirs don't sell out as fast.  Lionel has gone to the system to only build to what is ordered.  So it's not that Lionel has stopped making them, they just made what was pre-ordered.  But like said above, they'll probably make them again in a couple years.

This last run for Lionel didn't have whitewalls so they may have gone quicker than normal. I'm glad I was able to snag one. Some of the larger dealers may still have one if you poke around a bit.

If your interested in a MTH 4449 SP Daylight, The hobby shop in Port Angeles Washington has/had a PS1 in the show case. It's new, never been ran. I was going to buy it, but the employee couldn't find the box and the owner wasn't in. The owner was wanting full retail price for it last summer. You might be able to get him down. Might be worth a phone call.

I bought the same one off ebay and gutted the PS1 system and added a ERR DC Cruise Commander and RailSounds for the Daylight.

I would pay more than $400-500 for it. For what it's worth. 

Ok. Now I know what   BTO stands for at one of the sites I go to.

I don't have an issue finding a new SP 3.0 Mth Premier.  Just read about Lionel way to go for steam sounds. But I couldn't find any.

Maybe one other reason I'm willing to give Lionel a chance is a premier diesel I have keeps having to go back In for warranty work. About to make its 5th trip. 

Hey Lou, great looking engine. If lead time is too long, I'll prolly go with Premier. I've got a set of 70' cars ready for a loco
