Y,A, J on the Abingdon Branch?

[NW Modeling List]

The only readily-available steam engine used there in N would be a 
2-8-0 somewhat like the class W.

Subject: Y,A, J on the Abingdon Branch?

So I've settled on N-scale for the Abingdon Branch.
 
Quick question: Did any Y's, A's, or J's operate on the branch? I think 
I
remember reading that they were too heavy to go over the bridges.
 
I'm debating on the era so far, I'm probably going to do transition as 
I like
1st/2nd Generation diesels almost as much as steam.
 
I was showing my wife the OWL photos of the branch in late steam and 
she likes
the "rural" aspect of the line, I also think that it has great 
potential to be
done in a modular style "shelf" layout for portability.
 
Look forward to working out the track plan in the next few months and 
getting
started on a module hopefully this summer.
 
Thanks.
Gene
