Reply to "MTH PRR B6 30-1170-1 - Thoughts?"

Hey Matt ,

I have the RK Imperial Proto 3 B&O  B6  model # 30-1570.     I liked the cab roof color on the Pennsy Proto 2 model but cash flow didn't allow me to take  a second B6 home. 😕

It's a hefty little thing and it has run really well for me. No problem running through 031 switches .  Smokes great and good sound.   It came with an engineer .     I didnt see an engineer in the 30- 1170 ,but I'm sure it wouldn't take much to put one in the cab.     Definitely good to see you are getting the EBL battery ready for it .

Details can be added like a real coal load or additional piping.   There are different videos and images of the B6 for examples.

I imagine your B6 might be the same casting as the one I have .  The MTH RK B6 is actually a  " Scale "  ( 1/48 ) size loco like their Premier line.   Next to the other RK steamers on the layout, it does look a little large but I wouldn't give it up for anything.

Have fun and be safe Matt. 😷
