They're beautiful models for sure

3rd Rail N&W 475. The detail is incredible. There’s video of it running on my YouTube channel.

I don't have a whole lot of N&W (a lot more of its successor) but this is the biggest of the lot, reaching back to a buy-anything-cool thread from August 2023 (page 343):

Here's a link to the original BACL post with clickable (bigger) versions of the above images, among others.

Also, the same Class A, after hours in my hotel room during York, and a few months prior to getting its PS3 upgrade (top two pics).

So jealous, I have been searching for one! Congrats !

Two more classic N&W engines …

My only N&W engine.  It's a MTH Rail King Y6b with Proto sounds.  I bought it from Trainland many years ago when they were clearing out Proto sounds equipment.  I believe Proto 3 was still on the horizon but Proto 2 had been around for a while.  I've added a homemade auxiliary tender.

Does this count !

That's awesome! I'll have to take some pics of my N&W relics too.

All of my N&W engines are under the knife being repaired right now, or haven't arrived yet.

All Lionel Legacy, I have a J class #600, a 2-8-8-2 mallet #2020, and I will be getting the new 2-6-6-2 mallet just released very soon. I've also got about 8 N&W coal cars, but I need a lot more!

All you OGR N&W fans ...

Thank you for sharing your passion!

I too love the J-s  (have 4), and one day hope to get the Y6B and A-class. Your pics and videos are especially cool on your layouts ...very inspirational.

I wish Lionel would make Vision versions, or at least remakes, of the real big N&W engines like the Y6b ... just like they tend to do with the popular UP Big Boy.

Great post!

Here's my N&W fleet operating on the Free State Junction Railway.  

0-8-0 Switcher MTH RK scale.  

I like the close distance between cab and tender.
