[N&W] Pennsy on the N&W

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

I understand that at some point the N&W and Pennsy swapped a Class J for a
T1 for experimentation. Did N&W keep the T1 around Roanoke, or did it roam
elsewhere?  Someone told me that upon the return of the T1 it was remarked
something to the effect that N&W tried, but even they could not turn the T1
into a real locomotive! Truth or urban legend?

Thanks for any information you can provide and any reading material around
that gives detail into this swap.
