I searched the net for a photo of the O-Gauge GS-4 Willimas made in American Freedom colors but can't find any.   I know they made one.  Does anyone have photos?....or links to photos?  I think the model number was gs4-102.

This link shows the Western Pacific and SP Daylight colors, but not the American Freedom.

Dear Mikado,

Not sure how to get the pics to stop changing.  

Scroll to bottom for a thumbnail.

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,

If your loco is too heavy to lift, you'd better be able to ride in, on or behind it.

Much appreciated!  Do you know if they are still being made?

Mikado,

I presumed you knew your old item numbers were obsolete and the pictures/links you (and I) found were from archives.

As ACY has pointed out, WBB no longer offers AF colors.    

If you want to phone the shops on the old (pre-Bachmann) Williams dealer list for possible NOS still on shelves:

Otherwise, you'll have to wait for one to come up on an auction website.    

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Joe Satnik

Edit: Thanks, ACY
