While a Class A Climax is neat, I don't see that anytime in the near future from Bachmann.  See the thread on Class A's for more discussion.

Old Westside Engine, when I got it right...?

Sure this would be a nice thing to have, but MMI has already announced exactly this kind of engine. So, acting wise, Bachmann would probably not bring the same prototype then.

But what about the Yosemite Sugar Pine RR´s other engine - which is slightly a bit smaller...? Well, to me it would be great to have the 36 tonner Bachmann once produced for Fn3, or the actual 38 tonner in On30. ;) ;) ;)

That would not just do the trick - this would make my day... ;D

Kind regards, Tom ;)

Hi there,
thank you, Superthomasfan for the pic´s you added:

No question, the Westside No.3 Heisler would be my favorite. ::) ::) ::)
I had quoted for this model a while before already.

Cheers, Tom

superthomasfan

Yeah. If Bachmann has made a heisler in G scale, no doubt they can make one in On30. ;D

MMI has removed almost all of their future On3/On30 releases from their webpage. 

And why should Bachmann be worried about MMI?  If/when MMI releases them, they'll be at least $700.

Sure, drgw268 - but I would suggest, Bachmann would be sensitive about this issue: There are masses of prototypes out there, why make the same engine...?

A Bachmann model would be far better that the MMI engine, better running, cheaper...

Kind regards, Tom

I hope there is nothing wrong.  :-\
