Reply to "Williams NYC Niagara #6602 Questions"

Pat - Thanks for the reply.  It is fully Flanged, if that is what you were wondering about.  Both the 2R version and 3R version I have are OEM not conversions.  It defies me why on the 3R they would give the information on the box but not for the 2R.  I have not operated this so was hoping to find someone that has the instructions or experience actually operating it.

I’ve had the 3 rail version, pretty good runner, I wouldn’t say the best, that crown belongs to MTH’s Niagara for out of the box performance,…..Lionel’s CCII Niagara is a box full of trouble IMO, …I do not know about the 2 rail model, but I’d imagine the fully flanged set of drivers and given how tall they are would require some wide radius……I’ve never run my Williams 3 rail Niagara on anything less than O-81 ( 3 rail terms ) so I can’t say what exactly the minimum is or should be,……when I started amassing MTH Niagaras, the Williams went on the chopping block,….to me it was just kinda lack luster VS. the MTH …..the Lionel Niagara can be made into a good runner, and I do own one of those, but be prepared to gut a toolbox like a fish if you want it to run good,……the only real issue I had with my Williams Niagara was the pick up swing arms didn’t reach the 3rd rail very well, they tried to hang off the rail, …so a little bend towards the down side and that resolved the problem……after that it ran fine….a little noisy, but most of those tall driver Williams are……
