Brass project to be considered

[NW Modeling List]

Mike,
    The people who could help us most with the 0-8-0 would be those with
responsiblity for the Walthers Proto 2000 series. They almost have it as it
is now for us N&W fans. The S1a tenders were rebuilt from the tenders
delivered with the USRA 2-8-8-2. They produced this tender with their USRA
runs of the Y3. They already have the tooling for most of the tender on hand
as well and their excellent USRA 0-8-0. A little work remains and of course,
the economics must work out.

  Very good Mason, I will see what can be done for the next run when it
happens.

  What I really want is a nice 0-8-0 along with the T-6, you know we will
get the T-6's done as I am almost done with 3 brass rebuilds!

  Mike

  Mike,
      Roanoke Terminal Y-6bs were 2171-2180. An automatic Train stop box
should be added under the running board and track sensors to the rear of the
tender, but perhaps some entrepreneur will step up a make this as an add on
accessory kit.. I know he would sell a bunch of them.

    Mason,

    Let me know the numbers of the Roanoke class locomotives and I will see
what I can do.

    4 new number coming for the class A in the next run, two with regular
rods and 2 with lightwieght rods. Yes I did get to pick the numbers!

        I second Mason's motions, including the east end.

      Rev Jim,
          Thanks for the NWSL correction. We all have our favorite models we
would like to see. I feel that Class M, (perhaps with a optional National
Forrest spark arrestor for the Abingdon branch), and an affordable Class M2
would profitable sellers on account of the longevity of the prototypes on
the N&W. But I really hope we would all work to speak with a single united
voice when it comes to N&W models, rather than going off and petitioning
builders as individuals. As it stands now we have multiple Class Js from
multiple manufacturers, and still more runs of Class As which were on the
railroad for ten years or less, (and useless to some of us who model
different portions of the railroad). And as was brought up recently on the
list, even none of the second run of the Broadway Y6bs are numbered for
Roanoke Terminal locomotives. How many more of them would be purchased by us
on the east end? Getting down off my soap box now...

        Right on, Mason; but I think you expressed it backwards. NWSL
produced the pilot model which Tom Dressler got to examine. Tom took a
picture, which appeared in the Jan/Feb 1976 issue of the newsletter of the
first N&WHS. (Also the pilot model of the W6) Wonder where they are now?

        I was aware that there was a V1, but not sure of its production.
Thanks for setting me straight, as I have only seen one for sale many years
ago.

        Thanks, Stephen



        Modeling List,

            I concur with Rev. Jim, and believe that Tom Dressler prepared
only one pilot model for Northwest Shortline to be produced after the W2
2-8-0.
        Mason Cooper



         Who made those 15 V1’s? I was nopt aware of them. Only one I knew
of was a pilot model by NWSL.    Jim Nichols



        Has anyone seen or have one of the elusive V1’s?  I believe only 15
were made.

          Yes.  We need the T6 bad for the steam thru diesel era.

          Stephen
