Proto 2000 N&W Y-3s

[nw-modeling-list at nwhs.org]

I may not recognize the tender sizes on sight, but I do have #2020 AND
#2024 and I can say with 100% certainty that the tender on #2020 is a good
bit smaller than the one on #2024. Just last night I had them side by side
comparing them. I can check out the lettering on the tail or measure
something as directed.

So we've discusse these Proto 2000 Y-3 road numbers that were produced with
the associated tenders:

2005 18K Tender   Ed King and I can verify
2009 16K Tender   Can anyone verify?
2011 16K Tender   I can verify
2016 16K Tender  Jim Nichols and Kurt Pederson can verify
2019 16K Tender   I can verify
2020 16K Tender   Can anyone verify?
2024 18K Tender   Ed King and I can verify
2050 16K Tender   Kurt Peterson verifies  - Kurt are you sure, this would
be a Y-3a?

Any comments gentlemen?

Thanks to Jim, Ed, and Kurt

        How many different numbers did Proto 2000 produce the Y-3 in? (I'm
        not concerned about the more recent releases of the "as delivered"
        versions)  I'm thinking they did 2 with the long tenders and 2 with
        the short?   Road #'s 2005, 2011, 2019, & 2024.

  Ed,

  Add 2016 and 2050 for a total of six copies of the Y-3 in various modified
  formats.  Only two had the long tenders.  The as-built copies were, I
  believe, 2009 and 2020.
