Southern Crescent Limited Steam Loco

Steam locomotive, Southern Railway No. 1401 is currently on display in the Smithsonian Institute, Washington DC Inspired by painted British locomotives, the Ps-4's green and gold livery set these locomotives apart from the black associated with most American steam locomotives in the 20th century. The distinctive green was exclusive to locomotives on the Southern that were assigned to the company's principal passenger trains, such as the 'Crescent Limited,' the 'Piedmont Limited,' and others. In 1926, ALCo built for Southern a second order of Ps-4s at its Richmond Works, in Richmond, Virginia. The 1401 was included in this order. The 1401 was assigned for most of its operating life (1926-1952) to the Charlotte Division of the Southern Railway. This mod is based on the Lionel version of the Crescent Limited.
