A Cotton Belt engine actually working in the Cotton industry! That's pretty cool.

Nicely done Jim!

The coolest thing about this engine is the front marker lights which have visors, like the ones they used to have on steam engine headlights. I also like the reminders near the front and rear steps to BE CAREFUL, safety was important then as it is now. This engines builder plate is still there and it's red and blue colors have not faded. How many of us remember the once popular song about KODACHROME giving those NICE BRIGHT COLORS. Judging from this photo those colors were LONG LASTING as well.
