United PFM model of the Y6b #2175 (and notes on other Y models)

The model pictured above, was one of 100 built as a "Crown" series model in 1960, and sold unpainted then for US$150. The Crown series often had added detail or some other improvement, over concurrent or similar models. Nearly 500 of the Y6b model were imported by PFM in the period 1958 to 1962, representing the number series 2171 to 2200. The tender on these models is representative of a modern type that carried 22,000 gallons of water, and 30 tons of coal, and used by the Y5 through Y6 classes. More pictures of this model of #2175.

Other Y6b models have been sold by Precision Scale (PSC), and Key Imports (KEY).
