Well, I guess I might want to apologize, I did "let my hair down a bit" with that--but I have had some suggestions in in the past, with thoughts on how to make them work for the Bachmann and us:

There were also some comments on a "smaller locomotive thread" that I couldn't find just now, but one of them was for logging Prairies and Mikados.  My thought was that these could be based on the 0-6-0T, which if my measurements are right, has what appear to be 44-inch drivers.  This was a common size on such rod-driven logging engines, and of course, this also means motors are gearboxes are available for such a project as well.

Would they work?  Maybe time will tell. . .

Lancer's back again. A reasonable suggestion May ad least be some of the rolling stock? How about a snow plow? Like one shown here. The non rotary types. Maybe if we had some maintenance trains or some sort? Because some of us would like to do snowy layouts and maintenance would be very important. Plus watching it go would be the great part? Also if the snow plow was a dummy unit it would be better?
