2-6-2??

[RevJJ]

Since there seem to be threads asking for another Baldwin 4-4-0 between the IF and OF versions (both wonderful...I really don't see a need for another), and since I posted the picture of a Stearns Heisler several years ago when the Vulcan Duplex announcement was met with, shall we say, lukewarm appreciation...may I offer another humble suggestion.

Take about 1/2 of the On30 Mallet and give us a small catalog prairie

Here's a look at one left in New Jersey

Seems to me that the mechanism already exists in the 2-6-6-2 undercarriage, and this would make a nice little addition to the line.  BTW the new Heisler looks GREAT!

This looks like a great little  engine!..just think of the bashing possibilities.

OOO Yes I would love to see her made, and her sister.

Rock On!

Last I knew, unfortunately, No. 26 is no longer in steam.  Probably boiler time expired.  But yes, she would make a great model in On30/On3.

Which one?  They had several, some built out of older moguls by the MC, and two new ones, the 23 was the bigger one, the 24 the cuter one.

Me too, Mr. Bach-man, especially their #24, but I would also be interested in a smaller logging type 2-6-2 loco, or even a 2-6-2T tank loco.

I would like to see any of the SR&RL 2-6-2's offered, #24 is the nicest in my opinion but any of them would do.

I agree, the #24 is the best looking one, although as others have said any SR&RL 2-6-2 would do nicely!!!!!!!!!!!!

This would be a real fine addition to my motive power since my railroad is populated with the SR&RL equipment to date from Bachmann. I have the Forneys, the cabooses, and a few of the pulpwood cars ( need more undecorateds! ) so I am all for this!!!

i would love to see a SRRL O/F prairie but would suggest one of the others say no18 as i think this could be made into reasonable copies of any of the others 6,15,16,19 with a little kitbashing therefore more sales. no 23 & 24 are nice but a bit bigger than the others and you would only buy one of them.

I can't disagree with your logic regarding number 18, but.....

regarding #'s 23 & 24, I couldn't buy just one, it would be like having just one potato chip!

Any of you guys seen what Peterboro is doing?  They have a guy custom bashing various new types of locomotive by combining parts of existing engines.  Excellent work on them.
