I've personally seen my favorite Bachmann prototype a few times in my life:

Quote from: The train kid on June 16, 2016, 03:45:03 PMWell, the Micro-Engineering stuff looks good, it's amazingly fragile. I had two turnouts break at the switch points (of course after the track was all soldered together) and a third had the rails pop right off the 'ties' coming out of the package. I salvaged that one with some HO spikes and some ACC glue, but I shouldn't have had to.
I actually like the micromark track and specifically the price.

The US army 2-8-2 mentioned did run in Australia, on the 3 foot 6 inch gauge in Queensland, and a couple are preserved in Australia.

Now that Lee Riley has so sadly passed, I wonder how much longer we will see Bachmann continue to produce any On30. As a modeler, Lee had a different perspective than most other corporate executive types, which was fortunate for all of us in the On30 community.
