MTH Premier N&W Y6b (2-8-8-2) O-Gauge Steam Locomotive in True HD 1080p

This is a True HD 1080p video of the MTH Premier model of the Norfolk & Western (N&W) Y6b (2-8-8-2) articulated steam locomotive that came out in 2002. The prototype locomotive was a true Mallet, a compound articulated locomotive where the steam from the high pressure rear cylinders was reused in the low pressure front cylinders, which is why the front steam chest is larger than the rear.

It requires O72 curves at a minimum.

What curves are you running it on?

[RWSKnifeandTool]

@LydeckerFan yeah, it sound ALMOST like a J class whistle...

[LydeckerFan]

Shame the whistle is wrong for a Y6b.

Thats my favorite articulated steam locomotive. They were among the most powerful in pulling force.
