Been following C Sams thread on SRR engines and pictures. I did not see any of the SRR Mikado's listed. Did they exist? If you southern guys can help me out with some info on this engine I would appreciate it very much. It is a great looking model by Weaver. Have not seen a picture of the model either. But I have one, what have I got??
Regards
Tommy

The Southern Railway had Mikados out the wazoo; several classes. (Even a few "Duplex Mikados", with an engine under the tender.) All you need to do is search the InterWeb for "Southern Railway 2-8-2" or "Mikado" to find all sorts of photos.
The old Williams brass Mike was built by Samhongsa, and was often offered in an incorrect green color (the 4501 excursion Mike was green for a long time - wrong, but that's show biz); the SOU Mikes were black, though often fancied-up with striping.
I'm not sure where "Weaver" (you mentioned them) comes in.
Do a search; all kinds of data there.
Hi D500, found a wealth of pictures on the sites you mentioned. I appreciate your help.
Yes it is a Williams Mikado, not a Weaver. My error.
