N&W 2156

[NW Modeling List]

And for me as well!
Domes smomes, "articulating" rear engines drive me batty - especially on locomotives with  four wheel trailing trucks....  

Now getting that rear engine to stay in one place without binding the center-articulating front engine is something that has always escaped my limited imagination. If it can be done, I look forward to seeing it done. 

As for tight radius and all that, how about a design that would allow the owner to choose to fix or let it move?  Kills two birds.

.  And for Frank ( and myself), I plan to block the rear engine from swiveling.  One of the reasons I am proceeding with this conversion is that the initial price of the Broadway locomotive is reasonable. I would not dare attempt this conversion on a brass model. Harold Davenport

Has anyone heard of any plans to build/sell an affordable HO- (or N-) scale model of the Y6a 2156 that’s supposed to move from St. Louis to Roanoke sometime this year? Seems like the timing of that would be perfect for a model release and make someone some money.  It would be nice if the model didn’t have the rear engine turning separate from the boiler. I know this is probably wishful thinking, but…     There are lots of Y6b’s running around but not much otherwise that I’ve seen, of Y-class models.
