PCM Y6b

[nw-modeling-list at nwhs.org]

I¹ve built BOTH the challenger and 2-6-6-2 when it was a Mantua kit.  While
the challenger can pull it has many little technical issues that must be
dealt with to produce a good running model that not many are around or
completed.  It would seem that Bowser should have made a 4-8-0 In metal so
we would have an M, but so far, it¹s a BIG project to produce one from parts
from various manufacturers.  Shame as my M2 prototype can pull 20+ cars with
a Alumilite cast boiler with lead shot added.  I wish someone with a lathe
could make a really scale boiler so I could have a good master to produce
molds with.   Same goes for the original M class.   The frames could be MDC
2-8-0 old timers with modified front ends, and MDC larger 2-8-0  cylinders.
The rest can be done with detail parts and available tenders for the most
part.

I stand corrected, especially since there's a $20 half-completed Bowser
Challenger in a box in the next room. Seemed it was too much for some guy to
complete and he dumped it a dealer. Was gonna use it as the basis for an A
until BLI saved me the trouble.
