Hello -- Does anyone make N&W Ys in N scale? What would be the min. Radius for one to operate the engine?

Chris,
Would it be OK if i called you sometime to discuss a potential project for the N&WHS?  If so, please send me your number and let me know when might be a good time.  Mine is (859) 227-8809.
Thanks,
Jim

Jim,
 I’ve been looking at these two photos on and off over the last couple days.  I believe the photo with the Y-3 is Maitland curve.  Maitland was the next signal location east of Welch.  There were automatic signals at Maitland into the mid-1980’s.

The 2nd photo is a bit more elusive.  It looks like single track territory to me.  The horizon at the left edge of the picture breaks pretty low for anywhere near Welch.  On this one I think it might be on the Clinch Valley or Dry Fork.
Cheers,
Chris Dalton

Here's a great image, my guess being this is likely from the same photographer and day as the 2060 photo

This is a total guess but could 2060 be on the double track section of the tug fork branch heading toward Wilcoe.

They are labeled as Welch, but given their bucolic nature they are obviously not in the city proper.  Anybody able to narrow down the location(s) to any finer point?
Thanks,
Jim Cochran
