4-6-0 with the high boiler and larger drivers

[azflyer2001]

Is there any chance you can bring back the 4-6-0 with the high boiler and larger drivers? I always thought that was a great looking locomotive. Offering it with DCC and sound would be a plus as well.

I've often wondered how if would look with a shortened oil Vanderbilt tender. Hope to see the return of both soon.

Thanks,

I got 3 before they were discontinued.  Those engines were very popular and sold out quickly.  I expect them back one day.

I thought they were the best Bachmann had offered, so I'm confused as to why they were discontinued in the first place.

I see them on eBay quite a bit... the Spectrum ones...

[Trainman203]

I'm confused about that too Travis.  These beautiful ten-wheelers were always sold out everywhere. 
Bachman is re engineering their steam engines to a lesser level of detail than the Spectrum products.  The profit margin was probably too low.  I expect this engine to reappear with molded on detail and a sound-value decoder...... not exactly the kind of engine I want but better than no engine at all.  Bachmann is the only company that has consistently offered small steam locomotives in the midst of the other companies elephantine leviathans, and I am grateful for that.

She looks great!

Of course, to my eyes, she doesn't look like B&O--more like something you would see out west, on a railroad like the Tonopah & Goldfield.

I would say this ten wheeler looks awfully close!

It does look great. The T&G loco is exactly what I'm going for.

About the closest prototype I've seen was on the Louisiana and Arkansas.
