The GS-3/4 is THE most beautiful locomotve ever built IMHO, but how many times have I warned you about running a 4-8-4 on 22" radius curves?! IT WON'T WORK & IT WILL LOOK BAD.
Now I didn't say don't buy steam, but if you want the realism you're after, I gave you some suggestions just read my last post more carefully.
This locomotive is what you're looking for to run on 22" radius curves:
Meet the USRA 2-8-2 Mikado.

It has Smoke, Sound and is from MTH.
All you'd need to do is buy the unlettered version and decal it for the CB&Q and there you have it! Problem solved?
You can do whatever you want, it's your purchasing decision, but I hope this helps.
