On30 / Re: Future of ON30
July 19, 2012, 03:19:43 PM
On30 saved me from the prototype 'nitpicking madness'  ;) Now at last I am free to place any rivets where-ever I want!  :D Actually, I think that's why On30 has that rising popularity worldwide. Once you know everything about the prototype some (many) of us will feel the urge to create even the prototype, through freelancing. And narrow-gauge would be the most prototype-accurate place to go with this urge!  ;D

I'd buy one, that's for sure!

Absolutely, GE shovelnoses, 2-8-2's or rotary plough would be greatly appreciated!

On30 / Re: WHR #87 while still in South Africa

I'd love a class NGG16 or a class NG 15 (2-8-2) from Bachmann! There's too much 'top notch brass' on the market which by association limits the interest for the On30 scale, I think there are new market segments to win worldwide with a broader prototype choice. There's no other manufacturer that I'm aware of in the Bachmann caliber today.

I live in northern europe, and buys Bachmann stuff and bashes it to something prototype-free but plausible for my concerns. I'd love to be able to buy australian, african, european and chinese prototype On30-stuff, and I believe there's markets otherwhere for that too. A chinese class C2 or even better a class SN steam engine would be great, for instance! I understand the importance of the US market and that it decides what could be done or not, but I still think that one who has the manufacturing resources in place today could develop other markets as well. To open a new 'world prototype' market, I believe a pre-sale arrangement in conjuntion with retailers worldwide would be possible and hopefully a nice surprise for the market dept at Bachmann!  ;)
