But the gold NS markings look like afterthoughts. I'm not suggesting I could do better. That said, like Ed and Jeff, I truly appreciate the fact that they are preserving anything at this point.

Seems one of these folks was responsible for the scheme. I really put my foot in my mouth. He's a really nice guy, a railfan, and pro-N&W. Whether through guilt or simply becoming accustomed to the scheme's variations from the Southern scheme that was used for its basis...... it's grown on me. Regardless of whether we like or don't like the paint scheme it certainly is nice that NS preserves and operates the set of F's (NS management deserves our thanks). Chasing them from Narrows to Bluefield this summer really brought back old memories as their 567 prime movers worked their way up grade from Glen Lyn to Bluefield.

Contrary to some reports, the "old red" was metallic also. However, you are not going to have to worry about that in a model paint. The so called "new red", which first appeared on the passenger GP9's appears to have had more metallic particles in it than before. Plus, the elimination of lead from the paint created a situation where subsequent repaintings were with the so called "new red." For modeling purposes, I think you can ignore the difference. I suggest you find a shade that looks good to you and paint all N&W cars with it. If you want an "out-of-the-bottle" color, I suggest you consider Floquil's Wisconsin Central Maroon. It is a little darker than I like, but as close as you will find with a pre-mixed color.

As to number, that depends on the size of the 2-8-0 you have. I assume, however, that it is not a small one, which would make numbers 6 & 7 appropriate. The larger N&W 2-8-0's were numbered between 673 and 949. Jim Nichols From: nw-modeling-list-bounces at nwhs.org [mailto:nw-modeling-list-bounces at nwhs.org] On Behalf Of NW Modeling List Sent: Thursday, December 03, 2009 7:06 PM To: NW-Modeling-List Subject: Numbers for steam Gentlemen, My son and I have aquired a 2-8-0 engine that is undecorated and would like to number it and also add the N&W name to it. Where would the name go? On the tender or or the cab? This would also apply to a heavy mountain engine that we just got from Bachmann. The cab has 118 on it and in very small lettering it has Norfolk and Western. Is this correct? The one reason I'm asking about the name placement is that all of our other steams have the name on the tender. Thank you for your help.

Barry Reeves Songwriter & Musician www.northwestlondonblues.co.uk and www.ace-assembly.co.uk To: nw-modeling-list at nwhs.org Subject: Bachmann J HO Loco Date: Sun, 11 Oct 2009 16:43:16 -0400 From: nw-modeling-list at nwhs.org Hello Barry, It takes 3 screws to remove the shell from the Spectrum J. One is in the front of the engine just over top of the leading axle on the pilot truck on the bottom side of the model. You should be able to turn the pilot truck sideways and reach the screw with a medium sized jewelers phillips head screwdriver. The 2 screws in the back are a little more tricky. These 2 screws go in through the frame into the back outer corners of the cab underneath the model. There is a plastic fixture on each side of the loco under the cab that friction fits into the side of the frame. The feedwater lines come out of the shell behind the rear driver set and run into these fixtures under the cab. These 2 plastic castings must be pried off with a small flathead screwdriver to reveal the screws beneath the cab. The feedwater lines pivot on these fixtures, so as long as your not too rough, once you pry these two plastic casting off you should be able to pivot them away from the cab enough to reach the screws. Hope this helps. Thanks, Chris Dalton Bluefield, WV Hotmail: Free, trusted and rich email service.

It is a very nice model. Runs very smooth. The only big issue that I have is that it comes with a cold water pump under the fireman's side. There are a couple of minor mistakes, but, I'll let others do the rivet counting. Knowing that the Y6a was pretty much an after thought and seeing what an amalgamation of Y eras the pilot model encompassed, Scott did an amazing job to bring this one back from the ashes so quickly. I like that the sander nozzles are there as well as the water gauge on the tender. I haven't seen the Y6b version yet. I just hope they aren't missing the cold water pump. BTW, two road numbers of the Y6a were produced, #2156 & #2165. If anyone would like to trade a #2165 for a #2156, please let me know.

Jimmy : I would like to have at least one M. If we can get Scott to offer two versions I would want one of each. I would want one like #382 as used on the Abingdon Branch with the high headlight and six wheel truck tender and one like #475 with the centered headlight and USRA 10,000 gal tender. Harold Davenport PS: If he would also offer the M in HO I would buy a couple if they had the correct sized drivers. The earlier HO Sunset models had way undersized drivers.

The Sunset model generally is expected to have a certain number of flaws for the price. Scott does not get into the different details as the roller or friction bearing tender trucks as used on the different #'s of the Y6a. As a matter of fact, as stated in the Kohs website, Sunset used the Kohs Y6b photo, not the Sunset model, so what you saw is not what you get. The Sunset models are a great value for what they are. I sold my N&W Buffalo and regret doing so. Still looking for one. Wish they would do the O Scale N&W Z's, PSC's were worse than what Sunset would have done.

It is a very nice model. Runs very smooth. The only big issue that I have is that it comes with a cold water pump under the fireman's side. There are a couple of minor mistakes, but, I'll let others do the rivet counting. Knowing that the Y6a was pretty much an after thought and seeing what an amalgamation of Y eras the pilot model encompassed, Scott did an amazing job to bring this one back from the ashes so quickly. I like that the sander nozzles are there as well as the water gauge on the tender. I haven't seen the Y6b version yet. I just hope they aren't missing the cold water pump. BTW, two road numbers of the Y6a were produced, #2156 & #2165. If anyone would like to trade a #2165 for a #2156, please let me know.
