Review: HO scale Fox Valley Models N&W Class J 4-8-4

Fox Valley Models HO Scale N&W Class J 4-8-4, Norfolk & Western/Spirit of Roanoke/Post 2015 Between 1941 and 1950, 14 Norfolk & Western Railway J Class 4-8-4 streamlined steam locomotives were built at the N&W’s Roanoke East End Shops. As the most powerful of their kind, they were an integral member of the N&W's "Big Three" steam roster, representing the technology's peak. Initially pulling prestigious passenger trains, they later transitioned to freight and were retired by October 1959, except for No. 611, which now resides at the Virginia Museum of Transportation (VMT). Restored twice, it featured in Norfolk Southern Railway's steam program from 1982 to 1994 and later in the 21st Century Steam Program. It now operates as a traveling exhibit, occasionally pulling excursions on host railroads.
