Y3 # 2003 - Y6b 2194

[NW Modeling List]

Lois:
 
I ran my old AHM Y6b for years on code 100 with no issues.  It was  only 
the combination of getting more "picky" on appearance, going to code 83  
(secondary mains) and code 70 (yards and sidings) and noticing the availability  
of the conversion drivers that made me change.
 
If none of these apply, buy the engine and enjoy!

Lois,

If you  purchase an "ancient" AHM Y6b it will have the deep flanges; 
however, these  would not interfere if you are using Code 100 track; if you are 
using Code 83,  it may be a problem.

You should look for the later run Rivarossi  Y6b which came with smaller 
flanges; still no RP25, but much better and it can  handle Code 83 track.

If you are only going to use it for a  static display, and not run it at 
all, it probably doesn't matter which you  end up with.

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.)
