Broadway LTD N&W Class-J

[nw-modeling-list at nwhs.org]

BWL J #600 has the correct Commonwealth (N&W modified?) sealed roller bearing, 3-axle trucks.  The trucks on my 600 are a dead match to the trucks in the Class-J drawings of #600 in both MRs' Steam Locomotive Cyclopedia and Mainline Modeler's The Locomotive Cyclopedia.  The trucks on BWL 611 - 613 are pretty bad.  Maybe BWL would have trucks from their new 600-610 series for sale seperately?  If so they could solve the problem with BWL 611-613.  I'm going to inquire.

  Now, if someone would just do the 611 with the correct tender and trucks . . .

    I think we are all finally figuring it out.  The crossheads if not correct (they are the laird or multibearing type) would have been a major blunder by BWL.  I should have mentioned them in my initial comments on the model of #600.  Guess I assumed it to be such an absolute necessity and it was correct on the model that I failed to discuss it. My oversight.  Guess that once again shows what assuming gets us!   Sorry Stephen, I kept looking for some else to respond to your question.

    My note from this morning below:

    The crossheads on BLW 600 are correctly the laird or multibearing type (did I spell laird correctly?) as they were on J's 600-604, not alligator as on J's 605 through 613 (as on BLW 612 & 613 that I have).

      Thanks, Yes the crosshead.  The 600 -604 had a single top crosshead with a  counterweight on it. This is more distinguishable than the difference of the tenders.  {see photo attached of 601 from fallen flags.}

        You mean on the crosshead,  Stephen?

          Does the N&W J #600 model have the counter weight on the front?  Please reply.

            (snip) It's not worth a big debate.  They're all within the variety of shades/tints seen in the old N&W color pictures!  I like my PRR #14 Caboose Red!!!!  Pick the color you like and be happy!

            I say:

            Amen!
