Hi All,
The problem with an H6sb as a modeling subject is that they were gone
by 1950. If you were modeling the PRR in 1900 or so, you would need a slew of
them. Branchlines into the 1930's and 40's, most of us, of course, are stuck
in the 1950's. I am anxiously awaiting the BTS H8,9,10. (They also have
almost identical boilers the E6 Atlantic, and the G5 ten wheeler!)
