Y6B

Description
Well, we have the GS4 Daylight. We have the Challenger. We have the Big Boy.
Now, I add another iconic steam locomotive to the yard, the Norfolk and Western Y6B.

The Y6B, sadly, is no more. The one in the Virginia Transportation Museum is actually a Y6A, which an older, lesser-powered version. The Y6B was one of several steam locomoitves exclusive to Norfolk and Western, and they used it to pull long, heavy freaight through the mountains of Virginia and surrounding areas.

Features:
~Working Pony Trucks
~Working Pilot/Trailer wheels
~Head/Reversing/Marker lights
~A road number off of an actual engine, don't question which one.
~A dynamic load of coal in the tender
~A detailed and realistic Firebox
~Lots of small details all over the place.

Enjoy!

Some thigns to note:
Do not drive this really hard, both this and the real thing were not fast!
This engine is VERY long.
This engine has a dynamic coal load, which means it can move and shift, if you have issue with piles of parts, I wouldn't abuse this engine a whole lot.

The last picture is about as fast as I could get it to go.

This build is comprised of 1705 pieces

P.S. Reuploads will not be tolerated! They will get reported for violating the "original work only" thingy in the rules!
Talk to me first before uploading a modified version!

Visually, I believe they are close enough to the B to use this. Will do some research and get back to you

Possibly, but not right now. Diesels aren't really my thing.

This is the Y6B. The Big Boy had a taller/rounder boiler/firebox as well as a two axle (four wheel) pilot/trailer trucks under it.
The Big Boy (As well as the Challenger, the other engine UP is running, and a handfull of the Plains-based Duplexes ran seomthing called a centipede tender, which is the giant thing with the five static axles and the single, two axle truck under it's front.

And as a Fun Fact, the Number Plates are different on the BB/Challenger versus the Y6B. Other than the cab, a lot of Y6Bs did not have separate number plates. BB and Challengers had the angles plates on the nose.
