2-8-8-2's

[nw-modeling-list at nwhs.org]

Jon - the ten ACL R1 tenders were only used behind the Y-4 2-8-8-2s - 
2080-2089.  They were never used behind any of the Y-6 classes.  Put a 
boiler inspection hatch and a slant-front cab on a Y-3 and you'd have a 
passable Y-4.

Virginian's ex-N&W 2-8-8-2s were USE class 736-742, originally N&W Y-3s. 
They had the biggest tenders of any VGN 2-8-8-2s.  But they were the 23-ton 
16k jobs.  Sorry. No 18s.
