Absolutely Ken! Congratulations on a great acquisition. Out of Family loyalty I have to add my vote for the Southern Crescent Limited. I believe the set includes (and possibly Ken can confirm) the Francis Marion passenger car. Though not the true namesake: Francis Marion Rodgers; Serving in the 7th South Carolina Infantry Co “E” was the first of my ancestors to give his life for the cause, being shot down while holding his Captain’s horse at Maryland Heights, VA, December 13, 1862.
I don’t own any K Line equipment, but if I’d have discovered this set when I started out, it would have sent me proudly into an entirely different direction building my empire.
The Southern Crescent Limited is my favorite passenger set. This is my only K-line passenger car set therefore my favorite! I bought this set 2 months ago off the bay. For the past couple years I have been bidding on this set when it came up for auction, but I would always lose out from a higher bidder. I had pictures of set on my computer hoping one day I would be able to own this set. This time I bid high enough in order to win the set. I was surprised that I even won the set because I was expecting someone might out bid me again. Most of cars were new out of box while others were previously put on display. This set looks great being pulled by my new MTH Queen & Crescent Limited 4-6-2 steam engine. Ken
