NYO&W 4-8-2

Bobby

Paul Lubliner's book: New York Ontario & Western in color has 3 pics of the Y2....page 15, page 26 and page 27. A Y1 on page 24.

William Helmer's book: The Long Life and the Slow Death of the New York Ontario and Western has the complete motive power roster of the O&W.

There were 10 Ys or Y1s, numbered 401-410.

There were 10 Y2s, numbered 451-460.

Wow....this makes 2 threads where we talked about the O&W tonight!

In an ancient copy of RMC in my mouldy old archives I have an article complete with plans of NYO&W 4-8-2s.  In the article it says that the NYO&W 4-8-2s were built to and identical with the NYC Mohawks.  Indeed if I remember right Lionel even offered their Mohawks lettered for the Old Woman.   Odd-d

The heavies were very close to the NYC design... it's a good modeling project. Despite what some "authoritative" books will tell you, the lights were not USRA variants. They actually pre-date the USRA. However, a USRA lignt mountain is a decent starting point for an extensive rebuild.

Want the easiest way to model in 3-rail a steam loco used on the O&W? Get an MTH CNJ camelback and number it for one of the ones leased to the O&W. :-)

Actually, find the Lionel NYO&W Camelback! No changes required! Comes equipped w/ TMCC.

Thanks all for the info. The basis for my Y Class will be the NYC Mohawk. I run DCS, so the Mohawk will be an MTH Rail King with PS 2.0.

Unfortunately, it was never produced. 

The old and weary car shop now has a Facebook page for his business.

Peter,

Thank you so much for the pictures of the NYO&W Class Y engines. It was very good of you to do this for me. If I can do for you in return, let me know.
