Sayeth Big Jim: <br /> <br />"QUOTE: Do you know anything about the rumour of 2 Y6bs resting in a Roanoke scrapyard until the late 70s? <br />That's exactly right. There were two Y's there east of JK diamond on the north side of the old VGN main line. i don't remember what numbers they were. My father had to go over there and get a cylinder head in order the get the 1218 ready for the Transportation Museum in Wasena Park." <br /> <br />The two engines were at United Iron and Metal for quite a while. But if your father had to go over there and get a cylinder head in order to get the 1218 ready for the Wasena Park museum, it wasn't a main cylinder head or valve head, because both the low- and high-pressure cylinders and the valves were larger than those of the A. Are you sure it wasn't a cylinder head off the stoker engine, or something like that? <br /> <br />Oh, and still trolling, Timzie? Have fun . . . <br /> <br />Old Timer
