Don't you think it is about time for something more.......EBT or WPY?

[Dusten Barefoot]

Folks;

I think it is about time we saw a little bit more action on the WPY or the EBT front. Im a ET&WNC Person my self, but there needs to be a more varity. I for one would like to see the mikes of the EBT or WPY made in On30 scale. I know they are pretty large of an engine but I'm pretty sure that they can fit on the tracks radi with no problem.
Rock On!

ps. Let's see some of the rolling stock in ET&WNC lettering.

rather have some more maine stuff

Like a small 0-4-4 Forney.

It would be hard to beat the small Forneys. the only thing better would be Mason Bogies.

Na; Im pretty sure a 2-8-2 will tople the pip squeeks . Im just messing around. But I intended this thread for support for the mikes, a spur off in to the wilderness. You can kit bash the forneys now into a 0-4-4. Take the pony off, and replace the cab.
Take it easy

A 2-4-4 bashed into a 0-4-4 is still a large Forney.

The 2-4-4T produced by Bachmann are massive engines compared to the little Forneys that once graced the rails of Maine.

WPY or EBT!!!!!!! 

I did not intend this to spur off into a topic about maine 2fters.

It is true that the forneys now are large.

I would like to see some mikes  made in On30. Please don't take this as me being rude or what not. If any maine engine is to be made; please make the 2-6-2s or 2-6-0s. Im not a big fan of t engines.

Looks like a mike to me...

[Dusten Barefoot]

errrr.....anything but those lol.  I think EBT is just fine

[ossygobbin]

i didnt mention forney's,, i would like a maine 2-6-2

The so called "MacArthur's" that wound up on the White Pass are interesting locomotives.  Huge numbers of these were built during WW II for use around the globe as part of the lend lease program.

One is in use at Dollywood and another at Tweetsie.  I believe one or two remain in Skagway.

These were pretty small by 2-8-2 standards - I think they could only pull as much as a C-19.

These would make a great model - and of course being an inside frame locomotive they could be regauged to On3 hopefully increasing the number of sales for Bachmann.

Yes the 190 class 2-8-2s were weak indeed. I am more partial to the EBT 2-8-2. From what I hear the 70s class of 2-8-2s for the WPY were more powerfull than there big sisters of the 190 class.

Soo...... Bachmann; have you any thought of making a EBT or WPY 2-8-2?
Rock On!

You know these ran on the WP&YR

[Dusten Barefoot]

THEY'RE OVER RATED!!!!

I have been tired for some time about the Colorodo roads. They are already being made by MMI. The room for them are small on the market.

I know they ran on the WPY but that is not the mike i had in mind. 70s 190s, or the EBT mikes are what I am talking about.
Not trying to start a qural
