Looks Good, makes all the right noises but it won't go.

Hey Gang,

Haven't got this fixed yet but will try something.

However . . .

Yippee!

Using the motor values supplied by rweber95 fixed the PRR E6 4-4-2 Atlantic to get above 69 as stock to the well over 80mph they are documented as hitting :cool::cool::cool:

"It's Alive!", to quote the famous quote.

After fumbling around a couple times, and finally thinking to delete the archived file, and everything related to the Class J which could be found,

It goes! And pretty speedy too :D:):cool:

Learned of these things from a little 120 page 1980 book directed toward "plastic, wood, and metal" modelers, 'The Norfolk and Western Handbook' by Conley Wallace and Aubrey Wiley, with a photo of 606 itself on page 2, and have wanted a model of one of them to use ever since.

Right above its photo is a Class A 4-6-0 built just a year earlier which has reasonably tall drivers itself, but not as large as the 4-4-2's drivers. It ought to move at a pretty fair clip too.

And right above it is the one four truck shay N&W had. I would have never guessed out of thin air that they had any.

Another entry in the "I would have never guessed out of thin air" is they bought 5 Pennsy K3 Pacifics in 1930. N&W design tender goes well with them.

alright, it's late, gotta git
