Thought so. Thanks Terry.

Is it just me, or does the bachmann online store just not list their major prime mover units like the ES44ACe and Dash-whatever units? Just saying this because I know they sell them, they're just not on the store. Or Im just blind and missing them somewhere.

just random thoughts.

mmh... so lemme get this straight, On30 is basically O scale locos that run on HO track, correct?

I got really excited till I saw the wires that connect the tender to the loco. Then i got sad cuz i hate those dang wires.

Still may buy it though.

Thanks trainman

How long do you think it'll take to get here? kinda impatient, ha

I happen to be on their mailing list so I get all of their sales ads. They also have a couple of other 2-6-0s for more money, up to $139.99. The coupon code for this sale is SBVD23. I didn't think that $100 for a 2-6-0 with DCC is a bad deal so I thought I'd pass it on. Hope this helps.

P.S. According to the ad, the sale expires tomorrow, 02/14/23.

I get the same ads and I just bought the same Mogul. My very first On30 locomotive. Let's see how I like it.

What would you take over SoundTraxx? Econami? LokSound?

Do the Thomas models have the hook and loop couplers?

I think they do, but I'm not sure. Most of my Thomas models got stolen, so I'll have to find my remaining ones. Then I can walk you through it.

Thanks

What A units are those? Look like EMD E units.

Whatever you want them to be? Fairly certain they weren't modeled after any specific tree. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Here you go.

Hope this helps.

Ah, the Dl-109 had some huge headlights ('specially on the Santa Fe versions)

Maybe the reason is the way the nose tapers to a pointed nose, vertically.

You can kinda see it in this picture:


I like those EMDs because of how streamlined they were. Handsome engines all.

I'd still like to see Bachmann put out models of the E1-4 units though...

Did you ever find out if there were any stress cracks in a gear?

Quote from: trainman203 on February 11, 2023, 07:58:56 PMBack to original topic. Quentin, follow the examples I put up for stand-in Missouri pacific steam engines and you can build quite a roundhouse-full of acceptable locomotives for that road. Accurate MP steam engine decals can be had from the Missouri Pacific historical society.

Bachmann engines aren't the only ones I have. I have four other mikados by another vendor, plus a couple of Bachmann 10 wheelers lettered for the MP that I did not even mention, so I believe I have about 15 or 16 MP steam engines in my Roundhouse... quite likely one of the larger MP steam rosters in the model railroad world.

In addition, I have MP diesel power consisting of 4 GP7's and an A B A set of F units... though they only run on other layouts.

I have a few steam engines for other roads too, like the Frisco, KCS and the Rock Island, my only requirement being that they ran in the ArkLaTex region. A Cotton Belt steamer is planned.

I haven't touched on my steam engines for southern roads east of the Mississippi.

I may do just that. Thanks.
