To be honest I am not totally certain where St. Elmo ends and Chattanooga and/or Alton Park begins. This gentleman is obviously referring to the new Southern alignment which was being crafted partly

Until the time of WWI, one of the marks of an “up to date little town” was to have its own freight and passenger stations. The SRHA archives have many letters, similar to the attachment, touting

I got a couple of sets, and they look pretty good. Not as sharp an edge as you'd get from an ALPS, but perhaps as good as silk-screening can be. I really like the addition of Alco and Baldwin

Yes they were called dulux gold. That lasted much better on the cars and locomotives that the gold leaf Fenton -- Fenton Wells 250 Frye Rd Pinehurst NC 28374 910-420-8106 srrfan1401@...

While i'm not in the market for these, I did read on facebook that those decals are gold colored, but are not metallic (gold leaf) gold, in case that matters. David Friedlander

I’ve had good luck with K4 but admit I’m not the go to guy on the accuracy of prototype vs decal lettering. I’ll have to scope out the K4 SR offerings Fenton

I don't know how accurate they are, but K-4 Decal's just released a set of decals for Southern Steam. George Courtney

The yellow bellies are indeed locals. I plan on loosely modeling around Atlanta, so this works for me. Just trying to figure out if I ever decided I want one, if I was to paint it for around 1970,

The DT&I had an important role for the Southern with auto parts traffic. If an auto parts car was bad ordered at one of the parts or assembly plants in Michigan, it would be billed empty to Hayne Shop

I will say this, I model a Modern Southern Railway from about 1982 to 1990, and this is very informative information on the DT&I. In my world the DT&I was merged into the Southern in 1983 in a 50/50
