How good did that chalked GS4 “Daylight” logo look on the drivers side of the streamlining 👍

I got "spoken to" by Goggo about that when we arrived at Port! 🤨

A trip back in time. Unfortunately it's return to the rails is on hold as it needs a new boiler and other extensive work. It would be great to see it Double headed with 3801 one day in the future.
