ACL R-1

[NW Mailing List]

Jim is correct.  N&W bought the ten tenders from a rail equipment dealer and applied them from May to October 1953 to the Class Y-4s.

I think the engines were gone. As I remember, N&W bought the tenders from an equipment dealer, and not directly from the ACL.

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.
