My grandfather piloted the first Daylight LA to SF 1937. My age is 91 and I treasure all the stories he told.

[@caelointheclouds]

Thank you for sharing a wonderful memory!!

[@walterfink9782]

This was when the railroads had their own passenger trains. What a beautiful train. I was lucky enough to ride the Union Pacific and ATSF passenger trains, way before Amtrak was formed.

[@gregoryrunningelk865]

We should put together the GS-4 and passenger cars of the Southern pacific, and run it in the year 2023 down the same tracks. From San Francisco to Los Angles as a fundraiser. Just a grand though!

[@Megaverser]

Those hairs caught in the drive wheels scared me. 🤣

[@FourDollaRacing]

Too long to be pubes... 🤫

[@timf2279]

[@patrickhanosh5990]

Looks great! Thank you Kato

[@amcaljosh]

Excited for this!! Sadly we’ll have to wait a minute for DCC and sound.

[@MrBsHiawathalandRails]

Looks great!

[@AbelG8781]

Beautiful but 81 years too many for my modern layout lol Kato is definitely one of my favorites!

[@JeffDM]

SP 4449 and some of the cars do run occasionally as an excursion service.

[@christopherorourke6543]

I have the Kato GS4 locomotive number 4449 in the Southern Pacific Daylight colors & the 10 car Morning Daylight set which I run as my excursion train on my N scale Pacific West Coast model railroad. I bought it in September,2019 from Obie’s trains in Apache Junction,AZ where I buy most of my N scale model railroad freight cars, track & wire for my planned permanent layout.

[@ScottJohnson4449]

I think we model a lot of the same things! It is my excursion train, too, with additional replicas of private cars.

[@avidlisner8748]

[@Haya_archive1]

[@epacm50]

[@tylerrichardson6530]

Great video! I'm waiting on the Big Boy official announcement with bated breath.

[@EJsRailfan1955]

[@JDsHouseofHobbies]

I'm hoping for the all black with "Southern Pacific Lines" on the tender.

[@jacksalvin364]

Southern Pacific Coast Daylight

[@raztaz826]

looks great, so classic

[@dustinainsley8792]

I wish they would do a fan trip version of 4449 with the auxiliary tender.

[@trevorderper5050]

although I will only get the locomotive and I need to get my hands on those before they sold out at dealers

[@WestSenecaValleyRailroad]

Very much planning to get this set. Are there plans to release decal sets for additional road numbers for the articulated coaches like in prior runs?

[@FourDollaRacing]

NO.

[@chrisscott8934]

Dose the daylight pull the Milwaukee road cars what other excursion cars can they pull besides there own set?

[@FreedomLovingLoyalist]

You need to do this in HO scale.

[@kakkun61]

ええな～

[@michaelmartinez6843]

I ordered DCC/sound version7 months ago. Shipping delays are still delaying the locomotive.

[@Greatdome99]

The Daylight was "most beautiful" until degraded with simplified colors of red-striped stainless beginning in 1958. After 1971 the Daylight became a tri-weekly Amtrak train. Neither of these qualify as beautiful.

[@AlecWheelweld]

Sorry to say that my 4449 model actually broke on the first day after a short, small fall onto my carpet. I have no way to fix it, nor can I get a refund from the hobby shop I got it from.

[@aqualungs77]

Are you going to release more 2 car articulated sets with different numbers?

[@F40M07]

Will you be doing a freedom train paint scheme?

[@FourDollaRacing]

NO.

[@etms]

This runs well on Atlas code 55 ?

[@douglaswilliams8882]

What is background music name

[@michaelfoerster6916]

Will this eventually be released in HO scale?

[@davinoc8559]
