N&W 2156

[NW Modeling List]

The articulation can be done by any manufacturer,   Intermountain's  SP cabforward was done correctly and the old Mantua which is now Model Power 2-6-6-2 is also done correctly.  Both negotiate small radius curves because the front engine slides.

Domes smomes, "articulating" rear engines drive me batty - especially on locomotives with four wheel trailing trucks.... 


Now getting that rear engine to stay in one place without binding the center-articulating front engine is something that has always escaped my limited imagination. If it can be done, I look forward to seeing it done. 


As for tight radius and all that, how about a design that would allow the owner to choose to fix or let it move? Kills two birds.

. And for Frank ( and myself), I plan to block the rear engine from swiveling. One of the reasons I am proceeding with this conversion is that the initial price of the Broadway locomotive is reasonable. I would not dare attempt this conversion on a brass model. Harold Davenport

Has anyone heard of any plans to build/sell an affordable HO- (or N-) scale model of the Y6a 2156 that’s supposed to move from St. Louis to Roanoke sometime this year? Seems like the timing of that would be perfect for a model release and make someone some money. It would be nice if the model didn’t have the rear engine turning separate from the boiler. I know this is probably wishful thinking, but… There are lots of Y6b’s running around but not much otherwise that I’ve seen, of Y-class models.
