It's not everyday you get the model to meet the Prototype! | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

I picked up a new Lionel Y6b at their warehouse sale last week and while in Roanoke this week I was doing some work over at the VMT.

My Y6 was in the truck and since I may have had a hand in the photo of the legacy J and the 611 from last year, I thought it'd be fun to do it again with it's prototype. (Yes I know its a Y6a and the model is a Y6b but unless you have a time machine capable of going back to prior to 1970 this will have to be close enough).

So here's a few pics and I hope y'all enjoy.

Love it thanks for posting.

I love matching model trains with the real trains have done it for steam engines diesel and passenger trains and freight cars.

Here are some steam engine shots model and real;

Good morning, I agree with Ron and Steamer.

I thought photo 4 was really cool.

Great idea comparing the two locomotives this way.

Happy Holidays !!!!!
