Thanks Ken
The second loco is an Atlas B23-7 in Southern livery with High short hood and factory fitted sound.

Although very nicely done, the SOU paint does not fit the timescale of the layout so I decided to repaint it into Norfolk Southern livery. Modelling Alabama, the natural choice for a B23-7 was the one leased to the Pine Belt Southern which operated in the Opelika region of AL.
The main detailling was on the pilots, although a new horn will be fitted at some stage. Here are the photos.
