O guage Y-6b

[NW Modeling List]

Hello Mike:
Keep up the lobbying. Would love to see some Y6/Y6a's. Given all the heavy discounting, I had figured the Y6b's were slow movers or they'd run an awful lot of more of them at one time than the market could bear.

Next time around, if you could get them to ditch the LokSound for Soundtraxx or QSI sound and cast the cab in plastic (like the BLI A), they'll be on to something. If they wanted to swap the die-cast tenders (big rivets) for the more finely detailed one on their A, that'd be great also.

Otherwise, I'll keep eyeing my PCM Y6b's with a hacksaw in one hand to make them into Y6's.

  Mike - the great distinguishing feature that makes the Y-6 stand out from all the others is the driving wheels.  Get a good photo of a Y-6 and see the difference.

    Remember folks the running gear is the same for the y-4 through y6b class with the exception of the pilot and trailing truck. If you want these in HO let PCM know how many you may buy! 
     
    The running gear on a scale locomotive is the most expensive thing to develop the body shell etc are not as big as an investment!! 
     
    I have talked with folks at PCM and there is a possibilty of doing the y4 etc class if there is enough interest. The Y6 b was some what of a slow mover than they hoped for!! SO let them know what you want. 
     
    Many of us have worked hard whinning about what we want in N&W VGN and overall we can not complain of what models have been produced in the last 5 years. More goodies are coming!!! These are the good ole days in our hobby!!

      I’d like an HO scale version of a Y6, Y6a, or even a Y5.  
      Why is it that the number of engines built is inversely proportional to the models built? 
      We have HOW MANY J’s & Y6b’s ?????

        Robert - Why don't you get them to produce a Y-6 instead of a Y-6b?  We've had several Y-6bs . . .

          In case any of you are interested Sunset Third Rail is in the process of  trying to get enough reservations to produce a Y-6b. I personally own a large  number of their locos and have been very satisfied with their quality and  performance. They are also waiting to produce a K-2a  Streamline. I have  no vested interest in sunset except that I want to get one each of these locos  for myself. The Y-6b will go for 1799.95 and the K-2a Streamline will be  1199.96. There must be a few O scale railroaders who might want one of these.  By the way reservations cost nothing.  Robert  Starkweather
