They lasted in regular service into the late 1950s with several being preserved after the end of steam.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOver the years, several modifications were made to the class which created some visually distinct locomotives. These include but are not limited to installing new steel cabs to replace the original wooden ones, conversion of part of the fleet from coal to oil fired, and wooden extensions to the tender bunker for those units that continued using coal. Rapido’s H-6 will feature many optional details to accurately portray H-6s in several configurations and sub-classes, including:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCoal (with or without an extended bunker) and Oil tenders\u003cbr\u003eWood or steel cabs\u003cbr\u003eManual or power reversers\u003cbr\u003eVertical or horizontal slat pilots\u003cbr\u003eTwo different bell locations\u003cbr\u003eTwo different headlight sizes\u003cbr\u003eThe H-6s drive will incorporate our smooth-running gear drive with flywheel allowing sure and silent operation.
