There's no doubt about the good marketing sense SHS had when they decided on their consolidation. Jettie's H6 project was interesting and would've been a fit for me as my era of modeling ends at the beginning of '51. But not as nice as the larger Pennsy H class would've been because of the quanity on their roster right up to the end of steam. I think we (PRR enthusiasts ) would've made out better had we pursuaded Jettie to possibly make the switch to bring in the PRR H8, H9, or H10 after the H6 project didn't 'go'. At that time the cost was $777. for the H6, so apparently under $800. would've been a nice price for all the variations. It will be interesting how the BTS version works out. Maybe Bill can give us the latest update on that project. Mike B.
To: [email protected] From: [email protected] Date: Thu, 2 Jun 2011 08:57:27 -0400 Subject: {S-Scale List} various 2-8-0 discussions As Jamie pointed out the PRR H6 was numerous at 1 time, but from my rosters there were only 3 left live on the Susquehanna Division by 1952 IIRC. My era of interest is a few years beyond that and as such was not a big interest for me. It is significantly smaller than the later H8,9 and H10. Jettie tried to offer the H6 and a B&O variant at one time but it did not happen. Again if my memory serves me correctly I think the B&O bought some PRR H6 second hand, and that was Jetties attempted project to cover 2 roads with 1 loco.
