N&W M-1

[NW Modeling List]

Jim,The M's with the top-mount double check valve did the same thing, as with all engines with the top-mount check valve.Jimmy LisleSent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

        Besides the valve gear difference, the M1's also differed from the M's by having what came to be called the "poor man's feedwater heater", which is what that second dome is (a check valve which scattered the water). BTW: although newer, the M1's tended to be retired before the M's (possibly because N&W did not like Walscherts valve gear).Jim Nichols

-->Thanks all for your feedback. It’s appreciated.Finding a straight M class is difficult. I have the M-1 because it was the closest I could find.

The Sunflower stack cap was only on a few engines that ran on the Creeper from what I have heard.

None of my pix, and I have many, show that feature.  The small tender was replaced with a larger, 6-wheel truck version on 429 by 1957 according to my photos.  The “sunflower” spark arrestor limits the engine number options greatly.

I know so many engines have differences (headlight placement, tender type, etc.).Can anyone help identify which number(s) this model might represent? I’ve considered 475, even though it’s not accurate, but many similarities. It would be nice to know which number it really should be.
