Brakeman's doghouse

 My reply about the undecorated model was in reference to the Proto Y3. I don't know anything about the MTH, but doubt that the same applies there.

Sorry for the delay in my reply.  Thank you, Jimmy and Jim, for the information.  As for myself, I prefer the rebuild version with the “Y” steam pipes.  I also did not know that MTH sold any undecorated versions of their locomotives.  Are they special order?  I have the PS-3 model of the Y3.

The extra parts came only with the undecorated model.

My Proto 2000 Y3s came with conversion parts so that the model could be upgraded to the configuration of 2033, which I chose to do.  I bought "undec" versions as I wanted to (and did) decal the for my freelance model rr, so I don't know of the conversion parts were included with all of them.

I am wondering why my model does not look a lot closer to #2033; specifically the Y steam pipes to the front cylinders.

Vic,
    That is because your model is based on the "as built" version. When the N&W upgraded the Y5 class of locos with cast engine beds, some of the Y3/Y3a's were rebuilt with the former front engine from a Y5. The 2033 is an example.
