[N&W] Y3/Y3a tender wheels in the early '50's

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

Hi All;

I am wondering if the wheels under tenders of Y3/Y3a locomotives in the
early '50's where cast (rib backed) or wrought (flat backed).  I am
suspecting wrought, but a P2K tender I have has ribbed back wheels.

Also other N&W tenders in the early '50's.

Thank you
