Always wanted a Southern Ms4 with an Elesco feedwater heater. The Lionel heavy mike has the basic form, but their Southern version was totally wrong. So I finally tried my hand at bashing one. A Lionel heavy mike on sale from Pat's Trains, plus parts off a Lionel Ps4, some MTH parts, and lagged pipe from Wiseman models. Shown right off the workbenches 5 minutes after completion.
It's no Bill Lenoir or PSC by Boo Rim, but I'm pleased.
Next project will be the only Southern mike to carry a 12 wheel tender, Ms1 4752.
