What prototype was used for the Stearns Heisler?

Thanks.

There could also be a problem with alignment of the running gear. The yoke that connects the cylinders is a little flimsy and prone to cracking, which can leave the cylinder(s) misaligned. Check to see that both cylinders have the same alignment. If not, try some way to clamp the misaligned one while gluing it in place. I have done this with success on one of my Forneys. Also check for bent or misaligned connecting rods, etc.

What prototype was used for developing the new 18' cars?

No problem. I just can't find a warranty statement in the box or on the web site. Is there one?

Does Bachmann offer a warranty for rolling stock?

Can anyone identify a prototype for the Bachmann Billboard Reefers?

What prototype does the new 2-4-4-2 represent?

I doubt that there was a single prototype for either the 0-4-0 or 0-4-2 Porters, rather they are' probably "catalogue locomotives" i.e. based on the offerings in the manufacturers catalogue rather than on a specific example. These small Porters were supplied to a large number of operators, both in the US and other countries. They were made in several different gauges. For an American 30 inch gauge example see http://on30center.com/on30/library/articles/emrr/eureka.html For a Mexican 30 inch gauge 0-4-2 see http://www.mexlist.com/penoles/photo19.jpg

What is the prototype for the On30 Porters?

Just got the new 2-6-6-2, and am curious about the chuff sound phasing. I was expecting the chuffs to go in an out of phase as the locomotive progresses down the track, but the two sets of engine sounds seem to stay locked in phase. I couldn't find anything in the Tsunami CD about it. Comments, anyone?

Thanks.

Is the sound in the 2-6-6-2 articulated or simple?

Does Bachmann have any plans to bring the 2-6-6-2T to On30?

Where can I find information on the Bachmann On30 freight car prototypes?

Thanks.

Thanks. That's one of the places I saw it, too. Google finds the company via a telephone number search, but the link from there to the web site doesn't work, so it's still a mystery.
