Mel,
Does this mean yall spent all your money on RiverRasin Brass and
don't care to help out the newbe trying to get into scale from
Highrail.I fit in that bracke. I want more new stuff that has scale
wheels. I'm fixing to convert one of my SHS NW-2's to scale wheels.
And put scale couplers on it so I will be making a transition car
so I can run most of my highrail cars behind it. Nuff said.

Subject: Re: {S-Scale List} Re: Drivers, Flanges and the Y3
while the idea of having a scale y3, or even a challenger is
appealing, the reality is, is that
most scalers, for one reason or another can not afford/or wish to
purchase one of these
engines, and lionel is aware of this, why do you think they are
still in the flyonel market?
and mth also recognizes the reality of the scale market, so until
the scale market can
support its own dreams, DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH, or waste I/O'S

Yes, Pennsy had 6. They were classified HH1 and lasted to at least
1950, meaning I could use one. :)
I couldn't find out about it on Lionel site (which is poor IMO) so
I stopped by the local hobby store and they had an 2012 AF
catalog. The Y3 was on the first two pages with MSRP of $999.
I like the idea of pestering Lionel about scale wheels. On the
back of the catalog, their contact info is 586-949-4100 or
talktous AT lionel.com
I plan dropping them a note.
