Looking for information and particularly pictures of the equiment used my the Gulf & Ship Island R. R. Company, located in Mississippi around the years 1850-1924.I would like to find out the color and layout of the lettering on the equiment so I could try to fix up a HO scale model. THANK YOU.

Frank, I am very interested in the G&SI and have built a photo and data collection on the line. I grew up on the Mississippi Coast near Gulfport and now live in Hattiesburg, MS. I do not have info on the color schemes of the buildings or equipment. Will be glad to share what I do have with you. Glad you are interested in the line from a modeling point of view.
