Y3 Proto 2000

[NW Mailing List]

Folks,

Walthers does have some parts available as I just got some last month. I have a large fleet of y3's. I did buy some undec's years ago and parts for both type with and without the crossover pipes. If you need some let me know I have some to spare.

Re: Proto 2000 Y3.  I checked my two models.  They are both lettered.  2005 has the original Y3 front set up and with foot board pilot.  2024 came with bridge pipe front end and road pilot.  I remember contacting Life-Like about buying a road pilot for 2005.  They sent me the part at no charge.  Unfortunately after Walther's acquired Life-Like, they wanted nothing to do with steam models. So finding a bridge pipe part would not be easy.

Attached is a photo of 2010 in Hagerstown original front end and road pilot.  Photo by Charles Summers.  Charlie worked as a farm hand.  On his weekends off he would take rail photos with a simple box camera.  Before his death he gave his negatives to a friend of his.  2010 was one of his better efforts.  Too bad he didn't have a better camera.  I have scanned what there was of N&W, dating from the late 1930's up to the end of steam on the Shenandoah Division.
