It's a small Heisler, probably 18-20 tons.   Look at Message #60454 in the yahoo! On30conspiracy group if you are a member. I'm not going to post a direct link since you have to be a member to view.

Sherwood,

I too have a Climax, so far no problems (Probably around 30 hours of run time). There are gears available for the On30 Shay from Bachmann and OSO/NWSL. I would imagine replacement Climax gears from Bachmann are the thicker updated type, maybe the Bach'man can let us know. I would guess OSO/NWSL can't be too far from releasing their gears too.

I would rather run my locos till they break on my shelf layout, than have them sitting in a box. You can now get a DCC ready Shay from Favorite spot for $60-70, add the $27 for NSWL gears and you are still around $120 if you factor in shipping. StAubinOn30 sells the Climax for $99, just keep your receipt and keep those gears lightly lubed with plastic compatible grease.

If I have to deal with bad bevel gears in the future, so be it. It is still much better than paying $600+ for a brass geared locomotive. Without Bachmann On30 I'd still be in HO

So, any guesses what the announcement will be this July?

A perfect July for me would be a much needed H****, and an update to the 2-6-0 (Updated wiring like a DCC plug in tender or DCC and Sound installed).
