Ed,

The Y6 and Y6a all had the slanted stack just like the Y6b.

The Y-6b's most distinguishing feature compared to Y-6's and Y-6a's was the Worthington SA Feedwater Heater on top of the smokebox in front or the (Y-6b only) slanted forward smoke stack.

The Y6a has two air pumps on the engineer's side, with a BL feedwater heater on the fireman's side . The Y6b has an air pump on each side.
