Interesting comment regarding "small" I'd agree entirely on the GTW locomotive, they are
well proportioned, but do look like little brothers when compared to other 4-8-4s.
Can't quite agree though about the GS-4 type. Everything about them suggested large and powerful, 80
inch drivers, adequete boiler with a large combustion chamber. It's all in your point of
view.
