Thanks for the write up.

Actually the Southern Railway never had any 2-8-4 type steam locomotives back in the days of regular steam. The model MTH offered was of the "Excursion era" locomotive the Southern used for awhile, which was a former C&O Kanawha #2716, and the Southern's Steam Shop in Birmingham, AL changed the front end to look more like a Southern Railway locomotive. The MTH version of that SR excursion locomotive looks quite nice, in my opinion.
