My MTH RailKing version of my "Jump-Seat" ride on "611".  Charlie

Norfolk & Western #244 was the first Railking model of a USRA 0-8-0 steam engine made by MTH Trains – product number (30-1111-1) - delivered in 1997 at MSRP $379.00 with PS1. Although the model is modest, the locomotive is significant. N&W #244 was built by the Roanoke Shops in December 1953 and was the last reciprocating steam locomotive built for an American Class 1 railroad.

From last July......the River City 3 Railers at the Keystone Tractor Museum.....an annual show each July.

PS2 Y6, unfortunately not working anymore. I think I blew the board. Need to figure out my options.

The all powerful N&W Y6b Mallet.

- not exactly "prototypical", but -

I'm gonna take you big/fancy N&W folks back to basics!

I had an old 6066T in poor condition and decided to give it a second life. it was in a 'parts' box missing a truck with some drippy chemical/cleaner damage. i gave it a light sanding with 600~1000 grit followed by a fresh coat of engine black and then add some k4 water decals gives this tender a little local N&W~N&S flavor. (I live in VA)

... sorry, i didn't clean the engine yet

I'll take the letter J for $300 too!

I have a very nice set of N&W passenger cars in HO by Rivarossi, but they are a little small for this locomotive.  I also have a few Eastern Car Works HO N&W passenger kits.  This is a Williams scale model.

Here's an N&W J slowing for water a long way from home in California.

That's a Lionel MPC era J - one of my favorites and a great runner!

After I inventorying the collection, might need to slow down on collecting N&W.

My “Dynamic Duo”

Left 3rd Rail “K”, right MTH “J”

You can see “K” on left is smaller - hence the name “Baby J”.

The “K” by itself - you might not realize it’s not a “J”. 🤔

Love the comparison.  Really like that K.  Wish Lionel would attempt a second try of their brass hybrid version that was canceled.

Some N&W from my collection…

Here are two more N & W engines I have - Weaver RS3 dummy unit & MTH RailKing Y6b.  Charlie

Early Lionel A; pre-Odyssey cruise, but runs well enough.

N&W is also a favorite railroad of mine, makes up a sizable portion of my collection. Unfortunately everything is boxed up until I can get a suitable layout built. Some older photos of two brass N&W engines I have are in the "Show Me Your Brass" thread. I cannot find where I have those photos on my hard drive so just incluing the link.

I also had the privilege of receiving a custom run 2-8-0 from Mr Muffin's Trains and weathered by Harry Heike about a year ago (pictured below). It is not prototypical, but it is probably the closest I will ever get to an N&W consolidation in 3 rail O. I selected #684 because I thought that N&W 684 most closely matched the 2-8-0 model being produced based on photos from the N&W Historical Society. I made a thread here with a few more pictures.

I only have the Big Three Steam but have 3 ‘J”’s one Premier, one RailKing and one PostWar. But more importantly where is Scott in the string knowing where he lives and the Hobby Shop he deals with and the shops owner I believe Scott probably has every N&W Steam locomotive that has ever been release and pretty sure every cab number of every “J” every released!!!

well I think I may be able to contribute a wee bit to this thread - to answer your question which number J class I have, the answer is “yes”

I'm partial to the big iron, so here's mine.

"How many N&W J's do you have?"

"Yes."

The camera position/height relative to the prototype Y in the background is a real homerun, reminds me of old railroad advertisements.
