OK guys, I'm sorry but I WANTED to keep this somewhat "On Track" YES pun INTENDED! I'm trying to get through to Bachmann!

These other locomotives you all want to see made, you might want to start a topic on it just as I did!

Sorry..... BUT please keep it on topic!

I also did not intend this to be a flamed topic, so please, none of the negativity! The hobby is to BE FUN......

J3-a-614,
You know I totally FORGOT the Q-4b! That would be a good one as well! WITH the Baker Valve gear!!!! And correct Vanderbuilt tender!!!!

I'd LOVE to see the 4-8-2 T-3t.... ALSO with the correct Vanderbuilt tender!

The USRA steamers, both the Q-3, 2-8-2 as well as the 4-6-2 P-7's (Specially the P-5) wouldn't be bad, but there ARE other companies that do the USRA stuff all to much! Which would be easily modified to B&O engines! I'd like to see more of some specialized engines that aren't often done in B&O.....

Speaking of odd ones, how about a Cumberland, MD yard switcher 0-10-0? U-1?

Any of them that I've mentioned I bet would be a hit for the B&O modelers!

Trainman203,
I can't comment on the MP loco's as I'm am not that familiar on them.....

I hope the powers that be read this from Bachmann..... It sure would be nice to see something more in B&O from Spectrum!

HO / B&O "Running Mate" to go with the EM-1?

Just a suggestion to Bachmann, as they done such a FINE job on te EM-1 in B&O that I have to post because I once lived very close to "Sand Patch" just north of Cumberland, MD!

I'd LOVE to see any of the following as a running mate to go with the EM-1:

B&O T-3t, 4-8-2, with B&O Vanderbuilt tender. -Only done in BRA$$!
B&O S, or S-1, 2-10-2, (Last one was from Rivarossi, and has not been done since!) -OR BRA$$!
B&O KK-1, 2-6-6-2. (Only available in BRA$$)
B&O KB-1 or KB-2, 2-6-6-4. (Again, only available in BRA$$)

And last but not least....

B&O EL-3a OR EL-5a, 2-8-8-0, (And like the others, only available in BRA$$)

It be so cool to see MORE B&O steamers, that are currently either so old you can't run them withthe EM-1, OR so rare they cost half a years salary! Where-as Bachmann has produced a EM-1 and is touchable price-wise.... -Affordable!

THANKS Bachmann! LOVE the attention to detail on the EM-1! Now we B&O'ers need some more to go with it, preferably something BIG!
