Brass project to be considered

[NW Modeling List]

Rev Jim,
    Thanks for the NWSL correction. We all have our favorite models we would
like to see. I feel that Class M, (perhaps with a optional National Forrest
spark arrestor for the Abingdon branch), and an affordable Class M2 would
profitable sellers on account of the longevity of the prototypes on the N&W.
But I really hope we would all work to speak with a single united voice when
it comes to N&W models, rather than going off and petitioning builders as
individuals. As it stands now we have multiple Class Js from multiple
manufacturers, and still more runs of Class As which were on the railroad
for ten years or less, (and useless to some of us who model different
portions of the railroad). And as was brought up recently on the list, even
none of the second run of the Broadway Y6bs are numbered for Roanoke
Terminal locomotives. How many more of them would be purchased by us on the
east end? Getting down off my soap box now...
Mason Cooper

  Right on, Mason; but I think you expressed it backwards. NWSL produced the
pilot model which Tom Dressler got to examine. Tom took a picture, which
appeared in the Jan/Feb 1976 issue of the newsletter of the first N&WHS.
(Also the pilot model of the W6) Wonder where they are now?    Jim Nichols

  I was aware that there was a V1, but not sure of its production. Thanks
for setting me straight, as I have only seen one for sale many years ago.

  Thanks, Stephen



  Modeling List,

      I concur with Rev. Jim, and believe that Tom Dressler prepared only
one pilot model for Northwest Shortline to be produced after the W2 2-8-0.

   Who made those 15 V1's? I was nopt aware of them. Only one I knew of was
a pilot model by NWSL.    Jim Nichols



  Has anyone seen or have one of the elusive V1's?  I believe only 15 were
made.

    Yes.  We need the T6 bad for the steam thru diesel era.
