What are the two protrusions with a hole in them on the nose of all but the Wabash unit? Picture of the real Southern 6900 does not have them!
I was all set to order a set but do not like the protrusion.
Also, I do not think MTH is offering an unpowered A unit for any of the road names.

They are "lift rings". Some RR's had them, some did not.

Thank you Dominic for the response. I do not think I would ever be able to get over the unsightly lift rings hanging off the front of a beautiful Southern engine. Those and Roger's revelation that they do not have passenger announcements will keep me from purchasing a set of the Southerns.

Another time when I am glad I did not preorder and waited to see the finished product.

Happy railroading,

Don
