ACL R-1

[NW Mailing List]

The short answer is no.  ACL R-1 class of 12 locomotives had scrapping dates of December 1951 and June 1952 according to Prince's ACL book. According to Col Jeffries book all ten N&W Y4 locomotives were equipped with the R-1 tenders in 1953. I don't know if N&W bought all the tenders or just 10 of them. I  can't remember the source, but I did read oncd that the tenders arrived in worse shape than N&W expected.

  Hello all,
  Do any of the old heads know if an ACL R-1 4-8-4 ever pulled a N&W passenger train on  the N&W, also when the N&W bought the tenders of these engines were they delivered still attached to the engines.  I have a H0 R-1 and am looking for an excuse to run it on my N&W layout circa 1953.
