Agreed, and maybe some of you who know the Southern well can fill me in on 
something.  American Models makes a Southern FP7 that bears the same number 
(6133) as the extant one in Spencer NC.  I sold one, along with a B unit, at 
the Fall S Fest, and the buyer appeared happy, took them and ran them on the 
layout they had there.

I was able to include with the sale a picture of the real one that I had 
picked up at the museum in Spencer, to validate the realism of the A unit. 
But I had to be honest and tell him I knew nothing about the authenticity of 
the B unit.  Did  Southern even have B units, and would they have run with 
FP7 units?
