O guage Y-6b

[NW Modeling List]

Sounds like an excellent term to me. The English language is not 
static. Anyone can propose a word and sometimes the dictionary printers 
eventually notice a common usage. Sometimes they don't, but the use 
survives because it serves a purpose. A good example is the use in 
Internet discussions of the term "pongers" to refer to the 
weather-protecting devices between passenger cars that fussy filtering 
software confuses with a device to prevent conception, used on 
heavyweight and lightweight N&W cars (mandatory content!).

I'm figgering lil' sand castings made of roofers' lead
   might carry prototypicity a bit far, so maybe plastic strip cut to 
shape might
  do the trick.  :)

What kind of tool are you going to use for the
    counterweights?

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
