Southern PS4 4-6-2 imported by PFM (United) in 1976.

Can motor, LED's and decoder install.

Whoever painted this engine did a professional job.

Had to trim the sides and bottom for  the back head to fit in the cab.

Some JB weld used to secure it to the boiler and foam to hold it 'in place' until the JB weld 'cooked'.

Manually enlarged the holes in the marker lights to prevent 'ripping' them from their mounts.
