Bachmann how about at least giving us a flanger for those snowy days and what about a butterflfly snow plow for that mogul?

Royce

We can only dream!.

Royce

I meant to add that for the money the mogul is the best buy in the Bachmann fleet and runs vey well.
I have several that have more money in PSC parts than the enginr cost but this was gained over time. I wished Bachmann would do another basic type engine for the entry modelers so this hobby will continue to grow.
We all want that that EBT 2-8-2 engine to go with those hoppers but the adverage On30 layout just ain't that big.
I still would like to see that Aussie sugar cane Baldwin.

Royce

Frankly I feel fortunate that Bachmann has choose to make what they did.We have a wide variety of stuff to bash, personally I love the mogul because it is cheap and it bash's into alot of different locomotives.
I have just purchased the may issue of MR and they do clarify the RC issue so I plan to make my railroad all dead rail.The mogul has alot of room in the tender for those wires and batteries!.

Thank Bachmann

For the last 10 years or so most of the On30 world has begged for a model of the the Baldwind Sonoma 4-4-0 and instead we got a 2 foot 4-4-0 with the reason of radius only to find out that the the On30 2-4-4-T has a radius problem. so I think engines are just made by special intrest groups afterall look at the original On30 frieght cars who would have thought of an OR&W prototype?

Royce

Mr.Bachmann,I am going to beg one more time for a engine.Please take a look at the July/Aug 2014 Gazette and there is a drawing of a 0-4-2T Locomotive Baldwin Fairymead Sugar Co.,LTD and yes I know it is 2 foot but it is a great sugar cane plantation engine and would be a great addition to the new 18' freight cars and just think of future sugar cane cars!.

Royce

I shop with Coronado Scale Models in Phoenix,Az. They advertise in the Gazette and give super service.

There is also Caboose Hobbies in Denver,CO and they do mail order also.

Royce

Why don't you join some of the Yahoo On30 groups like the conspiracy.
They can steer you in the direction you need to go and there are even swap meets.

Royce

I guess there is no intrest in anything new?

Royce

Is the new 4-4-0 listed in the catalog as having DCC and all new tooling going to have tender drive?.
Will this engine be updated to modern standards?.

Royce

Also Keith Wiseman of Wiseman model service offers a On3/30 kit of the American Hoist & Derrick ditcher and also The AH&D log loader.These are beautiful kits and if my memory serves me they are around the same price range.I have built one around ten years ago and it is truly a foreground model and if you really want something nice he has the Marion ditcher in On3/30.   www.locopainter.com

Wasn't there an article somewhere about the D&RG studing the purchase of one of these?

But to throw the issue way off course how about a  four wheel caboose using the body of the present eight wheel caboose?.
