Really beautiful - and I like the fact that you wanted a Y6a rather than a Y6b. The visual differences between the two are real, but most would be just fine with the "b". These projects I think of as "long walks off short piers", as the work and research required is not reflected in the apparent changes to most eyes - but you can see it. That's really modeling for yourself. I just finished such a project. Not your level of workmanship, but I may post a short thread on it soon.
(Isn't it a shame that we dumb ol' 150 mph 3-railers don't know anything about operation, prototypes and modeling? Huh?)
Thank you!
I feel that a lot of people don’t really have a good understanding of how in-depth scrath building can be. I put in hours of research before I ever touch the model. It might not be for everyone but I am thankful to know there is someone else who appreciates how much work goes into a model like this.
Is it perfect? No, but it’s what I wanted and the time involved makes it worth it to me. The y6a is my absolute favorite engine of all time. I don’t consider myself to be anything but an average modeler, but I thank you for the nice compliment!
