I have mentioned how the Southern was not averse to letting car and loco builders “have it” when they were unhappy about something. Here is an example from the SRHA archives. If we can presume

The part about coupler blocks and mainline use is a very important issue. Locally, we had an MP15 being moved back to the maintenance shop dead in transit, and the local yard forgot to put in the

Monticello Rwy Museum in Monticello has an NS slug that was made from a Southern RS-3. Matt Bumgarner

Great stuff, Don….thanks! SRHA has most, maybe all (?) of the Specifications for Southern’s diesels. Three, four or five “Specification Supplements” were common as negotiations proceeded with

My recollections of SW1500s is somewhat different. I recall their speed was restricted in that their ability to make transition was not nearly as advanced as mainline locomotives and speed

I forgot to add the SW-1 at Wadley in the woods. Privately owned. It is ex-G&F and Southern. Jason Greene

I agree, it is a bit confusing for newcomers and the old yahoo links on http://www.srha.net/public/resources/links.asp need updating as well. If needed, here are links that work for me for anyone out

8202 at SRM is certainly one. Three Rivers Rambler/Clausen have two SW-1s at Knoxville. There is a SW-1 at Oakridge I believe. To my knowledge no ALCO or Baldwins were saved. No SW-1500 have been

My problem was finding the sub-group. Missing it was my fault. However the SRHA 'links' page needs some cleaning up to get rid of defunct Yahoo groups. Perhaps as that is done, a link to the modeling

Bob, Currently we at SRM are getting close to having 8202 operational again. We had the Traction Motors and wheels overhauled, are restoring the cab, and painting the trucks. Still a ways to go,

Gentlemen: I don’t think any “clarification” is necessary, just read the home pages of the SouthernRailway.io and ModelingtheSouthern.io home

I see what I missed. On the main group homepage, the menu down the left side has an entry for 'subgroup'. Jack

James, appreciate it. You've got it. I guess I declined to join it when the sub-group talk first came up. Jack

Found the link: https://southernrailway.groups.io/g/ModelingTheSouthern

Simple. Go to your groups on GROUPS.IO, find the SouthernRailway group and the modeling group should show up under it Richard Morris

James, I looked myself and I think you are correct. Interestingly though, it is not affiliated with SRHA. This site (SRHA's) says it is for history and modeling, so we need some clarification of

I went on groups.io and found this group listed - it seems this is the group focused on both historical and modelling topics.

No need for apologies. There is another Southern Railway group not affiliated with SRHA which discusses both history and modeling. It seems like the home page of this group should have a link to the

My apologies, I misread your post, thinking you were asking how we found this group. I might recommend going on the groups.io website and searching for a group there.

James, I am glad that you gave it a try. However, this is the main group which is supposedly reserved for history with modeling going on a subgroup, but how do you access the subgroup? Jack
