A small, nonoperable model of the Best 

 Friend, about 2 feet long (figure 22), with 

 tender and two cars, was made in the late 

 1 880's by D. Ballauf, well known model maker 

 of Washington, D. C. It was first exhibited at 

 the Cincinnati Centennial Exposition in 1888, 

 after which it was placed on exhibition in the 

 National Museum (USNM 180244). 



Of the West Point, the second locomotive 

 built by the West Point Foundry Association, 

 and the second bought by the South-Carolina 

 Canal and Rail-Road Co., no relics or repU- 

 cas are known to exist. A satisfactory locomo- 

 tive, it arrived at Charleston on the ship 

 Lafayette on February 28, 1831. Its final dispo- 

 sition is no longer known.
