Try a GOOGLE search for NW Z1a and see what happens. If no returns, try spelling out NW.

According the book (N&W GIANT OF STEAM) by Lewis Jeffries the last z1a was scrapped in 1953.

Hi
Shawn Fields was saaying that a few of the Z1as were shipped out of the states. I am looking to see ir there are any of these left too. I read somewhere that a Z1a was used as a stationary boiler somewhere in the south. it was supposed to have come from an article in Trains Magazine
