<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:blue'> Thanks for the NWSL correction. We all have our
favorite models we would like to see. I feel that Class M, (perhaps with a
optional National Forrest spark arrestor for the Abingdon branch), and an affordable
Class M2 would profitable sellers on account of the longevity of the prototypes
on the N&W. But I really hope we would all work to speak with a single
united voice when it comes to N&W models, rather than going off and
petitioning builders as individuals. As it stands now we have multiple
Class Js from multiple manufacturers, and still more runs of Class As which
were on the railroad for ten years or less, (and useless to some of us who
model different portions of the railroad). And as was brought up recently on
the list, even none of the second run of the Broadway Y6bs are
numbered for Roanoke Terminal locomotives. How many more of them
would be purchased by us on the east end? Getting down off my soap box
now...</span><o:p></o:p></p>

produced the pilot model which Tom Dressler got to examine. Tom took a picture,
which appeared in the Jan/Feb 1976 issue of the newsletter of the first
N&WHS. (Also the pilot model of the W6) Wonder where they are now?
