Hey there. here is an idea for coloring thoses counterweights. If you can draw well draw a side view of the 2-8-0. Make a few copies of it just to be safe. If you don't draw well see if you can find some plans of the 2-8-0.(one of Bachmann's catologs had a good one) Useing the drawings or plans as a guide, devise your own color scheme. If you mess up, thats what the copies are for. Hope I helped some.

Large / Large Scale Locomotive suggestions.
June 30, 2007, 08:20:46 PM
Dear Bach Man,
I you are like me you might have a "Lack" of insperation for new locomotives in Large Scale. As for me I have a "Lack" of insperation for my art work. Any way I hope this topic would help with ideas for new Large Scale locomotives. I've heard Your releasing a 1:20.3 Scale K-27, I hope you are. To start things off my suggestion for a new locomotive would be a 1:20.3 Scale K-28. Especialy the famous "Bumble Bee" scheme.(My personal favorite) Also I think an interesting concept would be a line of "Cog" engines like those used on the "Pikes Peak" cog railway and the "Mt. Washington Cog railway". So any way here are some starter thaughts and I am looking forward to other people's opinions and ideas.

Large / K-27 Versions
June 29, 2007, 11:01:59 PM
Dear Bachmann Trains,
I have heard a rumor of you making a Large Scale K-27. If its true I'll be looking forward to their release. Any way I've got a few suggestions you might want to think about. If you are producing a K-27 it will most likely resemble the K-27s that still exist today. But what if you produced the differen't versions (or stages) of the K-27s went through during their service on the D&RG. A good example is the "As Delivered" version, this version of the K-27 is how it originaly looked when delivered From Baldwin in 1903. It used the Vauclain Compound cylenders, Big Box Headlight, and a Slope Back Tender. Very few versions of this K-27 have been produced as models. I beleive this version would be very popular because of its rareity, especialy in Large Scale. The 2nd version was more common, Known as the "Slide Valve K-27s" they were the next "stage" of their development. They were attempts to improve the performance of the locomotives. They had a shorted smoke box and slide valve pistons like that of your Large Scale 2-8-0. And the third and final version wich we can see today. If anyone else has any opinions on this topic please share them.
