What are you looking at?
They installed one on no. 1409 on an experimental basis. They later switched it out for a Worthington heater under the running board, as nos. 1366-1392 had.

Ya i actually read that earlier today. I can do a coffin feed water version if I find good images of it.

Does at least the Casey Jones engine have a good progress going on?

I forgot to reply with a specific quote. Let me try again.

That would be a question for Engineer5475
Well, that question he mentioned left me wondering how's 425 coming along?

So if you read the post about 425. I have no diagrams for it. So its stalled indefinitly.

So that means that the Ps-4 takes precedence over your other projects?

Well not really. Its top priority, but I have other projects im working on.

For the Ps-4 project, you have plenty of reference material to work with? Plans for both the engine and coaches, historical info, rosters, etc?

Yes he does, otherwise he wouldn't be working on it.

That covers everything you mentioned except the engine, for which I didn't have to work on providing data because Chance already had drawings. Material isn't plentiful, but it is available, and it wouldn't really be possible to take on a project like this if they didn't have at least enough data to carry it out.

The Illinois Central 382 "Casey Jones" project is coming along slowly but surely. It had been placed on hold because I choose to focus on completing the ALCO 0-6-0T and begin working on other tank engine projects. The other reason for the wait is I have chosen to redo and rebuild much of the model as I discovered issues and historical errors half way through. This is NO guarantee, but I'm aiming for this to be a summer release. Can't tell you when honestly.

Looks good! I can't wait for it to be released, but I do completely understand. I actually wanted to take a shot at the model myself, but I have no experience when it comes to any kind of 3D modeling, so I am glad that someone with more knowledge than me, is taking on the project! Are you basing the locomotive on the drawings or the model?

A mixture of diagrams, models and photos. For such a well known locomotive,there is actually very little info about it. So I'm using whatever info I can get my hands on for it.
A few weeks ago I was rummaging thru all the stuff I have in my bedroom and I came across a black and white photo of a Southern locomotives. I just went back and found them. They are pictures of:
A fireman's side view of Southern Ps-4 4-6-2 1394
A fireman's side view of Southern E unit 2903
An engineer's side view of Southern Ls-1 2-8-8-2 4021
These pictures have no writing telling me where or when these photos were taken, but if you're interested, I can scan them and send them to you in an E-Mail.
EDIT: I stand corrected about the dates and location. Only the picture of 1394 doesn't say where or when the picture was taken. However, the picture of 2903 was taken in Alexandria, Virginia in May 1960 by an unknown photographer. The picture 4021 was taken in Birmingham, Alabama sometime in 1947 by Frank E. something, I cannot make out his last name. However, the pictures of 4021 and 2903 were part of the collection of a R. H. Hanson. There are two separate addresses on these two pictures, and if you're interested I can send you the addresses, along with scans of all three pictures. However, I cannot remember where I got them and when.

0-4-0T is coming along. Will include at least 8-10 variants, basically showcasing different headlight, cab and tank arrangements. (alternate cab not built yet)
