Let's say that the Y6b from PCM is the last word in Y class engines in HO scale. I think it is right up there with the Class A's from BLI. If they were not so frigging expensive I would have ordered one already. But I got the Y3 from Proto and it does a good job. I may get another Y3 as if one isnt enough.The only other Y6 Im familiar with is the old AHM ones from way back with the big flanges, the one I know of still runs very well under analog power and pulls fairly good. But the PCM Y6 is several generations ahead and is quite possibly the last word in good performaing engines.Keep in mind that the Big Boy was made for the west but the Y's were made to chain themselves to the mountains back east where it is all uphill, sideways and down with incredible tractive effort.
