Known as the workhorse of Norfolk & Western, the Y6b would become the last mainline U.S. manufactured steam locomotive produced. They delivered 5,500 horsepower, and the last of the Class Ys were retired in the summer of 1960. This HO scale model replicates the Y6b and features Paragon3 Sound and Operation system for both DC and DCC, engineer and fireman figures, synchronized smoke puffs with each chuff, die cast body and die cast chassis, and traction tires for more responsive operation. Operates best on 18" curve radius or greater. 15½" long.
