Southern's largest, the Ls-2 2-8-8-2 Mallet. Operated mostly on the coal-hauling Applachia Division and pulling/pushing on Saluda Mountain.

A "fantasy" model [redecorated N&W Y3--Jeff Sohn] that no one has imported. The prototype actually had a shorter 4 axle tender except a longer one briefly during WWII when pulling troop trains between Atlanta and Birmingham.

The heritage with the N&W "Y" evolves from 1916 when Southern's VP and General Manager[E.H.Coapman] had his VP Mechanical use N&W's Y1 specifications for building the Southern's 2-8-8-2 Mallets................................TIES Magazine

Needs to be weathered up real dirty and sooty.

A Christmaas gift from my wife several years ago along with a 7-car Southern Passenger consist[Charles Ro still sends her catalogs].
