I currently run 3 of the most recently released ('96 or '97) Rivarossi Y-6b's, and I have to remind myself that only as recently as that they were our ONLY option as far as a non-brass N&W articulated. Yes, I bought the P2K Y-3's and I am quite impressed with the level of detail, not to mention excellent running and tracking abilities. Now BLI brings out the A with sound and comparable detail! What a great time to model the late N&W steam era. IMHO, the P2K units have the best detail of any non-brass steamer ever, and with sound installed they will be hard to top. I belong to a club with a few very serious brass collectors, and one night we put a P2K Y-3 next to a recently released brass steamer, and there was virtually nothing on the $2,000 brass that was not on the P2K. Let's also not forget the Bachmann Spectrum J, which can easily be eqipped with sound. ( the bottom of the tender was obviously designed for it) By the way, one of my A's arrived with a detached crosshead guide fouling the running gear. BLI paid for the return UPS pickup and exactly 10 days later a replacement arrived. Not bad service at all. From what I hear, a Y-6b is being worked on by BLI, I can't wait to see if that's true. Like I said, what a great time to model N&W steam.
