Pacific #572

[NW Mailing List]

The 566 was scrapped in 1949 and the 572 in 1938.  The inspection hatch was not applied very much to the E-2’s.  Only photo evidence will show which ones received them.

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.
