I do notice that the Class As and Y6Bs use the same shape of the tender, i wonder why?

It’s just the Roanoke Shops design. There were a few variations that had noticeable differences

Nice video! Although that’s actually a Y5 Class locomotive being that the cab number is 2105, not a Y6b (Y6b’s were numbered 2171-2200)! 😄👍

Only n&w fans know what a y5 is. 99% of rail fans know a y6b

The dual air pumps on the engineers side is a dead giveaway that it’s not a y6b. The y5-y6a were visually almost identical.

@@delpproductions217 I scratch built an O scale y6a. I’ve spent many hours going over original plans. The y5 was the first to have the Sportscab. Side by side you can’t really tell a difference between them
