The company provides 3D-printed parts that the modeler can apply to an A.C. Gilbert 4-8-4 Northern (e.g. #332) to convert the model into a Southern Pacific streamlined GS-4. Those engines can be painted with their Daylight paint scheme or war-time black.

Notes:

This project, scheduled for delivery in September 1983, was cancelled (the entry is kept here to note that fact). The manufacturer ID, #1700, since it wasn't used for this model, was re-used, hence the duplicate entry for that ID.
