Brass project to be considered

[NW Modeling List]

Very good Mason, I will see what can be done for the next run when it happens.

 

What I really want is a nice 0-8-0 along with the T-6, you know we will get the T-6's done as I am almost done with 3 brass rebuilds!

Mike, 

    Roanoke Terminal Y-6bs were 2171-2180. An automatic Train stop box should be added under the running board and track sensors to the rear of the tender, but perhaps some entrepreneur will step up a make this as an add on accessory kit.. I know he would sell a bunch of them.

Mason,
 
Let me know the numbers of the Roanoke class locomotives and I will see what I can do.
 
4 new number coming for the class A in the next run, two with regular rods and 2 with lightwieght rods. Yes I did get to pick the numbers!

    I second Mason's motions, including the east end.

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...

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.
