If Ron is alluding to or has outright said Lionel is coming out with a Y3 I have mixed feelings about it. The Y6b is my favorite non-PRR loco that I do not have. It has stuck with me since my HO days with the Riverossi unit. I have been campaigning for it with River Raisin for about 5 years+ now and would likely be my last major brass purchase.
If Lionel comes out with a Y it will be about ½ to ¾ the price of the full brass loco & not as detailed. Such decisions But we will now need a tom of peaked end N&W hoppers to go behind it. Yes the Y3 was sold to the PRR and was gone well before my era of interest. The PRR was apparently not a fan of articulated locos as they were gone by the early 40s (I think) The regular popular classes run in great numbers until the end of steam.
