I confess – the sum of the N&W big three adding up to the UP 4-6-6-4 was sent me by Vello Nickolaou, an old friend who just got back home after viewing all three at the VMT.  Vello was the producer of some of the railroad programs done by the Histrophy Channel a few years back.

And Mike is correct – 3985=676!  

And, Mike, Clinchfield 677 is coming out of my backshop soon.  I always wanted a Bowser Wowser, and I’m finally getting mine done, thanks to the Rev. Jim Nichols who supplied some needed parts.  I numbered it after a Southern Ks 2-8-0 that was at Bristol for a spell.  Fits right after the renumbered UP job.

And no, Frank; the N&W big three do not in any other respects add up to a UP Challenger.  None of the UP’s big three (800, Challenger, Big Boy) could have come down to the N&W and done what the N&W”s big three did.

I drove past VMT yesterday (8/8/15) and all three were lined up under the pavilion (1218, 611, 2156, left to right, viewed from Shenandoah Ave north side of the tracks), not a tarp in sight.  They looked pretty good to me!!

3985…. And are all three under tarps at VMT? What is the reason to visit Roanoke and VMT if they are.
