I voted for the Y6B as it is a mosel that has has a bigger impact on our hobby. The trolley is a fabulous model as well, but not the same footprint.
I did this despite a big match up possibly in the future with the ATFS 3000 that I consider a better model. Just being fair.

Vote For The Y6B
The competition is a nice trolley. Nice trolleys may not come in last but the elite eight is certainly far enough.
Avenge the Big Boy loss. Come on, a trolley beats the Big Boy. NUTS!!!
And no vote for any Sante Fe 3000 or whatever it is. Vote for the diesel now.
Y6B for the CHAMPION

Hello All. I am logged in as Cheryl as she is juggling a lot today. She asked me to cast proxy votes for the Y6B and the AT&SF #3000. I hope this OK. The Y6B gets her vote!
Regards,
Gary.

Fantastic photo. Don't tempt me about your spare. I have to be satisfied with my 3rd Rail Jawn Henry - even with no whistle smoke and pretty generic sounds. But I think there may well be neighbors of ours in the hunt.

Okay Gary, here is your chance. An older Y6B has to be better than any new one Lionel comes out with now.
Thanks to all the Y6B supporters. Looks like this could be a straight up win.

As I wrote on the other, I pick what "I can run on my layout, not what I can't. Also what would I buy". But, willing to consider bribes, so I can buy what I want.

I can’t wait for the next round. The boiler of the silly a Sante Fa will fit inside the Y6B with room to spare. White rims do not do a thing but indicate that the 2-10-10-2 is a lightweight that is afraid to get its wheels dirty.

Bridging the generational gap between it and the Bird Bonnet!. Gary.
