Pacific #572

[NW Mailing List]

Here is a photo of E2a 566 with the same type of boiler inspection hatch.
This photo is from the H. W. Rouse collection and presumably taken at
Hagerstown, MD.

That's the first and only one I have ever seen on an E, It was fairly
common on all K classes. Unfortunately, most of the pictures we have of E's
show the other side.

I have 3 HO scale NWSL E-2 Pacific's I want to rework as specific
locomotives. While looking through my photos trying to decide which engines
would be the lucky candidates I discovered the 572 as being unique (I
think) by having a large inspection cover on the left side of the boiler
between the sand dome and the steam dome. (see attachment)

I wonder why this seems to be the only engine of the class with that
particular feature? Was it the only E-2 with one?

I'd still like to find out that one of them also used a cross-compound air
pump too.

I have 3 Sunset M-2's I want to rework also and during my photo search for
both these classes I made a strange discovery about N&W steam.........I'm
really drawn to what I call the 1935-37 look. The beer keg headlight
bracket with the round headlight with the angled number plate on top.
