HELP!! Need Brass engine mechanic

[NW Modeling List]

Mark - W-2s didn't have Baker-Pilliod valve gear.  It's Baker valve gear 
with the combination lever hung from the bell crank.

The only N&W engines, AFAIK, to have Baker-Pilliod valve gear were the E-2 
Pacifics as built; they were shortly (probably in the mid-teens) converted 
to Baker valve gear configured like that on the W-2.

Sorry I can't help you with the other problem . . .
