A NYC Legacy Niagara
1. Class S-1a - #6000 was delivered in 1945.
2. Class S-1b (#6001 to #6025) or the last one delivered Class S-2 # 5500 because it had poppet valves and the others did not.
3. Because 6000 through 6014, then 6016 to 6025 and 5500 were all scrapped prior to 6/30/1956 would really like Lionel to build NYC Niagara # 6015 which was retired on 6/30/1956 from passenger service (#416). The last run, 7/2/1956, was freight service from Cincinnati to Indianapolis.
These engines were beast running 6 days per week. Wish I was alive to see these in the rails.
Mike, please make a new version.........will match nicely against my CCII unit.
