My favorite Bachmann On30 locomotive will be the engine Bachmann releases that is fictional, yet possible. Like a GP-9 or somethn'; an engine that is inspired, not planned off a porototype.

Now THAT'S what I'm talking about! 

Fred

I see what you mean. But I am the 'prototype' guy. I like that stuff that makes a railroad diffrernt.

I'm not sure of the future of On30. The one thing the other scales (HO, O, N, G...) have that
On30 doesnt is a consistant prototype. There is no B&O or PRR type prototypes that were organized, big-name railroads that had 30 inch gauge rails. There are not a lot of models to make because there is such a limited selection that you can make. Most of the On30 trains I see are made of modifyed or patch locomotives with O scale parts.

As for what I would like to see in On30... I'm not sure. "Wild" locomotives (like a 4-8-4) would be nice to see down the line. A little imagination with a prototypical influence would make On30 train from you guys (Bachmann) a lot more appealing. To be honest, I love the current selection of stock (not locomotives) because of their simplicity and wider (by comparison) selection.

For the locomotives, a On30 4-8-4 would be nice or a 2-8-4, 4-8-2, what ever. Something with imagination. Even a GE wide-cab GP60 in On30 would be cool.

I hope you take this seriously. Us On30 fans get models primarily from two (2) places, 1. scratch built models we make, or 2. You. I would love to see more locomotives.

Fred

Honestly I would love to see an upgrade pack for the 2-6-0. It is by far the most classic current production locomotive you guys make.
