PCM Y6b's

[nw-modeling-list at nwhs.org]

So I got mine yesterday, and put it on the programming track today.

Comments:  Valve gear is not acceptable.  If Proto can put acceptable valve 
gear on the Y-3s, why can't these folks put it on the Y-6b?  And Broadway on 
the N&W A, for that matter?
                     Sound is barely acceptable; the exhaust sound is 
confusing to say the least.  Other sounds are OK; a nice touch is the splash 
of water from the injector overflow after the injector shuts off.
                     Programming is OK.
                     Power - not acceptable.  My Broadway 1218 will shove 
the Y-6b right off the test track without slipping a driver (I haven't 
tested it against my Y-3s).  The Y-6b will not budge the A if the A 
is not under power.
                     Tender is heavy all right, but I guess that's because 
of the big speaker.
