3 truck Vlimax

[Hamish K]

Dear Bach Man

When the HO Climax was originally announced both 2 and 3 truck Climaxes were to be made. However only the 2 truck ever arrived. Now that the 2 truck is becoming scarce (HO Climax thread below) will the 3 truck  be finally released?

The heading should be 3 truck Climax of course, my apologies (a vlimax might be an interesting type of unknown geared locomotive however).

Dear Hamish,
I believe the three truck project is still alive, but there's been no announcement yet.
Let's hope...
Best,

I happen to know for a fact that the project is still alive. I'm not going to throw the cat out of the bag, but the prototype is Moore Kempel #6. I remember that the original announcement was for a 3 trucker, but the 2 truck Moore Kempel #3 was in the same geographical location also. So, the restored loco was made into the model.

I also know of other 'similar' projects that have been talked about at Bachmann. But, let's wait and see before we get our hopes up.
