PHOTOS OF BOX IN QUESTION! WARREN

There is quite a few inter-railroad letters in the SRHA archives but I don’t recall anything between the Southern and the Northern Pacific. The Southern was constantly experimenting and proposing

I'm not a locomotive expert by any means, and one of our colleagues from White River Productions, Dale Sanders, has posed a question I hope someone in the group can answer. Dale says: I'm in the

Hello I model Southern outdoors in 1/29 scale and indoors in HO, in Oban, Scotland. I need more information, photos and possibly diagrams of the consist of these trains. I checked Ralph Ward’s

Bob I was hoping you would chime in. I guess I should have waited a few minutes more before typing my last reply. Thank you for the info and also confirming my conclusion on GE delivering all 6 with

Thanks Scott for the info. I have the Southern Motive Power 68-82 book, but was (still) confused by it listing only 3815 and 3816 as RC equipped units. The Paul Withers Southern Motive Power 1939-1982
