Steam & Excursion > The only picture that...Date: 12/02/12 18:14 The only picture that... Author: OKTrainboys Keeps my son from ranking J611 number 1.......I know, I know, I keep telling him J611 isn't running, but the roller bearings keep messing with his mind! I will continue the fight!

Doesn't he know that 4449 is roller bearing on all except the drive axles, and as a result can negotiate track conditions that N&W J class locomotives could NOT?
