Norfolk and Western 2174 was a Y6b class 2-8-8-2 compound Mallet steam locomotive, built by the Norfolk and Western Railway's (N&W) own Roanoke Shops, in 1948. No. 2174 and the other Y6bs were notably some of the most powerful steam locomotives ever built, being able to pull heavy freight and coal trains, unassisted.

On the original prototype all of the locomotives in the Y6b class had lagged smoke boxes except two, road numbers 2177 and 2188. We will model primarily the lagged versions, but will offer a limited number of the unlagged number 2188 locomotive.
