Title: turn of century ten wheeler
Post by: Royce Wilson on April 28, 2009, 03:25:00 PM
Bachmann, why not produce the 4-6-0 with stevenson valve gear and give the early modelers a good turn of century engine. the 4-6-0 made by Bachmann would match the Colorado Midland Baldwin ten wheeler if it had stevenson valve gear.

Why not made the current 4-6-0s available with piston valves and other "modern" features so that they look like the kind of 4-6-0s that ran into the late steam era on the larger railways and not, as they look now, like some shortline loco?
