Re: Depot for St. Elmo, TN
Warren and George,
I will have to find the file on Plan N, the grade separation and removal of the NC and CG from "Downtown" Chattanooga. I believe it was lettered "N" because it was the final plan

Not only is Chattanooga more “interesting” than Atlanta, there are many files, drawings and photos on the area in the SRHA archives. As far as the files are concerned there were at least

George, Remember Southern had traditionally used trackage rights on NC&StL to gain access to Stevenson Alabama and therefore Memphis (west) and to reach the AGS on the west side of Lookout Mountain

Re: Depot for St. Elmo, TN

Re: Steam Decal Artwork
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

Re: Steam Decal Artwork
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.

Re: Steam Decal Artwork
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

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

Re: Savannah and Atlanta Cab X-256 (and SOU X-255)
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,

David,
You mentioned hosam.com as your source for painting info. I pay the upkeep on the site and domain name now that Sam and Hank have both passed away. I have not tried to edit/add to that

The “yellow bellies” were assigned to outlying locals due to the fact they weren’t equipped with generators so no radio.

Sorry, I don’t see your point. “Decals” are clearly a “modeling” subject..that’s why the “Modelingthesouthern.io” group was created and advertised as part of this group. Here is a copy
