N&W in 1903 -- New Class J Locomotives

[NW Mailing List]

Other than the HO Mantua and Bowser models from several years ago, both 
(I suspect) PRR-protoype, are there HO or N scale Atlantics available?

    The new passenger engines on
the Norfolk and Western are capable of 113 miles an hour.  One engine 
is
already in use and the others are being placed in shape at Kenova.

[These six would have been Class J 4-4-2s
No. 600-605.  No. 606 was built in 1904 and exhibited at the St. Louis
Exposition according to Prince's book on the N&W.  With 79" drivers, as
contrasted with the modern Class J's 70" drivers, these 1903 
locomotives could
have been capable of 113 mph.]
