I was wondering about some N&W steamer stuff and want to see if anyone knows the answers.

Did all J's receive doghouses near the end?

Several Js received doghouses near the end.  I don’t know if they all got them, but Bud might.

Did any K-2's get doghouses?

Never saw any photos of K-2s with them, but again Bud might have this information.


What 2 A's swapped front engine assemblies when the one dropped the crosshead guide?

How long did they run this way?

The 1205 turned over at Chattaroy with #86 and landed on its side in US 52 (a photo of it is in my A book).  It had the multiple bearing guides.  It was taken into Portsmouth shop and repaired and to expedite its return to service it got the front engine of the 1213 (Alligator crosshead guides) which was being overhauled.  When the 1213 was outshoppe it had 1205’s front dngine.  I have photos of both in the book.  They kept the mismatched front engines until the end.  Neither “dropped a crosshead guide”.  The heavy guide yoke kept the bottom guide of the Alligator assembly from dropping and the multiple-bearing guide was equally secure.
