Just picked up the handsome PWC 2356 Southern F3 set and am curious about the history of the Series and what pieces were produced. Was not very active when these were first released and only know a little about them. The original 2356s were a childhood favorite and a neighbor had one but his mother didn't like other kids in their house so I only saw them once briefly. His Dad was a merchant marine and was seldom home. Any info and especially photos would be appreciated. Below are some photos of my new set and a painting I did about 10 years ago from the 1954 Lionel catalog of the set.
