responsiblity for the Walthers Proto 2000 series. They almost have it as it is
now for us N&W fans. The S1a tenders were rebuilt from the tenders delivered
with the USRA 2-8-8-2. They produced this tender with their USRA runs of the
Y3. They already have the tooling for most of the tender on hand as well
and their excellent USRA 0-8-0. A little work remains and of course, the
economics must work out. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=ecxecx062555703-09122009><FONT color=#0000ff
face=Arial> 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...</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
