All the SP GS class locomotives have "smoke lifters". That is what those two small ribs of sheet metal located either side of the stack, on top of the skyline casing. They did NOT have the huge "elephant ears" like UP and NYC used.
The Western Pacific added the "elephant ears" to theirs.

hello guys and gals.......
It's always a bad idea to pre-order anything as you will NEVER know what you will get until you receive it. I had far too many disappointments from pre-orders so its time for me to draw a red line in front.

I disagree. If you don't pre-order you may miss that item you really want! I nearly missed the Lionel Pere Marquette Berkshire by not placing a pre-order.
Absolutely RIDICULES! You mean if you received a "SUOTHERN PACIFIC" lettered model with "whistle steam", you would be happy?
I'll take CORRECT details over "whistle steam" and "swinging bells" any time!
I'll settle for CORRECT spelling

I also agree with you Charlie. I would hate to miss out on something that I really wanted. And for the most part I have happy with what I have received. Of course I have had a few problems with some items but they have been taken care quickly either by the dealer or Lionel CS with no problems. So I'll keep pre-ordering what I like and want.

Ahhh, the spelling police strike again! Sorry that my spell check didn't catch that, but it wasn't like you didn't know what my meaning was.
Last year I did preorder the Lionel K4 but that was after I talked to Lionel, at the April York, to verify they were using the K-Line tooling.
