New engines for Bachmann to make

[Dusten Barefoot]

A nice 8-18d 2-6-0 would be great! You can convert it an 8-18c 4-4-0. It's a multipurpose engine, and it looks great. I would like to see more 19th century stock. That is just me.



Rock On!

Dusten,we have been begging for this engine for the beginning of Bachmann in On30,I have always said that they should make the same engines in On30 that they do in Fn3.

Dusten,I doubt they will consider making this engine as you and I seem to be the only folks that want one.

Royce, Count me in as well.  I love the idea of the same boiler, cab and tender being used for a mogul and an American.  As I have posted before, Bachmann could make better use of theier expensive tooling of loco superstructures by putting different running gear under it for an alternative model.  My wishlist is topped by a Sandy River 2-6-2, and it could be issued as a saddletanker as well as a tender loco.  The Forney works great as an 0-4-4t, you can see my conversion at

This only requires modification of the frame; a very cheap way of offering a new model.  It could also be made as a 2-4-2st, as Backwoods miniatures has done.

It doesn't hurt to keep voicing our opinion. There may be a good chance they make the engine, "in my ever so humble opinion" because the other 4-4-0s they put out are well; are not quite what others wanted, especially the ugly ugly ugly outside framed engine. As I recall, there was some disappointment with the 1st 4-4-0, so I believe that this 2-6-0 has a fighting chance. There are two 4-4-0s, so why not 2 2-6-0s. Like I said before, it can be easily converted to a proper 4-4-0, and it looks good either way you want it. It's multipurpose; so Bachmann. PLEASE OL' PLEASE WE BEG YOU! PUT A PROPER ENGINE OUT ALREADY! not some off the wall engine like the nasty OF 4-4-0.

Thanks, and Rock On!
