I love the Soutern Rwy 4-6-2, but, can't afford brass. Who buily these? USRA/Alco, Baldwin, Lima? I know a Mantua could seriously re-kitbashed.

Mantua also made one Southern Railway "Cresent Limited" as the Mantua Collectable line back in the mid 1990's, which is the same time I got the President Washington I have which is a Mantua Collectable.....

Heres what little I know of the locomotive:

Was built in 1926 by the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) at their Richmond works. It pulled Southern's highest-level passenger trains from 1926 until Dieselization in the early 1950s, mostly on Southern's Charlotte Division. Its most famous and historic use was as one of the locomotives that pulled President Franklin Roosevelt's funeral train from Warm Springs, Georgia, to Washington in April 1945.
