Y3 # 2003 - Y6b 2194 flanges to big

[NW Modeling List]

If all that you want to change is the flanges, find someone with a lathe and
turn them down.  Back “in “the day” a lot of modelers used an electric drill
held in a stand as sort of a makeshift lathe using a file.  If you keep
measuring as you approach the right size, you can get them all to look
pretty much the same.  I wouldn’t recommend using the engine to turn the
wheels and filing them because it would be hard to keep the swarf out of
sensitive places, especially the motor.

Lois;



Depends on the value of your time, and what you have available for free or
low cost.  Here are some ideas:



   - just get a PCM/BLI model.
   - put the Rivarossi shell on a P2K 2-8-8-2 chassis.
   - use Bachmann Spectrum 57" drivers from their: 2-6-6-2, 2-10-2 or '52" '
   drivered 4-6-0
   - Greenway Products drivers - may as well purchase a whole brass
   locomotive.......

Very sorry this message got sent to both mailing lists. However, I do have
another question. If I do decide to buy the old AHM Y6b, what would be the
best idea for dealing with the oversize flanges? However, I would buy the
engine just to sit in the roundhouse, as in my time period (mid-1950's)
2-8-8-2's were very common in Williamson...

One more request. If anyone has a Rivarossi Y6b they would like to sell, I
wouldn't mind buying one or two to renumber 2194, etc.
 I should note I saw the old AHM Y6b 2197 at the Rail Yard hobby shop near
Roanoke but was not certain if I should buy, as  it probably had the
oversize flanges.

The retirement date for Y6b 2194, and if any part of the 2194 (number plate,
etc.) is still in existence.

Can anyone give me the retirement and/or scrap date(s) for Y3 No. 2003 ?
 (The cut-up location would also be nice.)
