Proto Heritage 2000 23337 N&W USRA Class Y3 2-8-8-2 Mallet Locomotive #2024

N&W went for the USRA 2-8-8-2 in a big way. obtaining 45 from Alco and 5 from Baldwin in 1919.

The final and most modern of the 2-8-8-2 were the Class Y6b's built in the Roanoke Shops of the Norfolk & Western in 1936. These locomotives were so successful that in 1954 the N&W tested an A-B-B-A set of Electro-Motive F7's against Y-6b #2197 and, at the time, were not impressed enough with the diesels to place orders.
