HO / Re: Alco 4-6-0 anyone
May 01, 2007, 10:56:15 PM
Thay may not produce an Alco ten wheeler. Based on the response my post got, I wouldn't despite there having been thousands of prototypes. However, not producing an Alco ten wheeler because they already produce a Baldwin is like saying that they will only produce one type of boxcar and only one flat car. The only thing common between the large  Alco ten wheelers I mentioned and others posted pictures of  and the Baldwin ten wheelers that Bachmann sells is the number of drivers. -J

HO / Alco 4-6-0 anyone

Now that Bachmann has finally done what so few have ever done before and introduced an Alco family loco in HO with their beautiful Richmond 4-4-0, how many others are there, like me, that would welcome an Alco ten-wheeler suitable for the 1900 to end of the steam era period?   I'd love to see a large drivered, large boilered Alco ten-wheeler along the lines of an MEC loco as was so common on many roads in the 20s and 30s.  Bachmann this would be a model that has never been mass-produced with a potentially large market. -Jim
