Should have no problems, but the Bachmann one may be a bit "light" for the LGB model.  Mine would blow the internal breaker operating larger LGB locos.

Just do NOT use the "pulse" feature of any power supply, and you should be fine.

Agreed, I figured it would be coming with the show.  Just not much going on now.

Check again......

Thanks for the reply Jim, gives me an idea as far as size.

"Brass" was used for a few other items of the era.....look up Brass Automobiles if you like that sort of thing.

OK....I have been on the fence since I saw these in the 2008 catalogue, but I have a couple questions:

Minimum Radius?

How "big" are they?  If you could give me in inches or CM overall length, cab roof from rail height, and tender width.....

I am now looking for the bankcard and warming up the dialing finger.

Thanks-

But what the heck, it does give some folks something to post about here and on other fora.  Great entertainment for some.

But the way of the world for most others, including Bachmann Europe (Liliput).   

Case in point, from the first discussion in the European press and confirmation......how long did we wait for the Uh/498. locomotives?  And they have made the new Zillertalbahn narrow gauge diesel (L142120) release well known for over 18 months, and it is not "due" until the fall.

With the Europeans, it is nice to know in advance what to save up for, not to buy the brass vesion of, kitbash, etc.    ....but not so nice when the dollar sinks between comitment and time to pay....

Cale et al:

Take a lookie here, top right corner, no rumor at least on the gondola?

I guess that I am one of the few that likes smaller locos.   I am looking at two Fn3 Bachmann Porters as I type this.

A small Baldwin (upsize the old Lynn/2-4-2T) or Glover would be interesting......

Some suggestions...

China: C2 or C4 0-8-0 - the C2 would also please the Eastern European/Russian fans as they are copies of locos delivered to that part of the world;

Germany/Austria: Hey, what about carrying on from where Fleischmann Magic Train stopped?? A U-class 0-6-2T (cheaper than Henke's, please!!!), bogie (double-trucked) coaches and freight cars, some modern equipment, maybe even a 99-series 30" 2-10-2T???

Cheers NB

Offered the C2 years ago on the old forum, when I had drawings of it and its Russian Pt-4 counterpart...could lup the Px48 in this lot also?  These classes numbered in the thousands and were built in many countries, including for reparations.

Bachmann already have a U class, in H0e through Liliput.  I have three here.

The problem here may be market share as H0e has more of a following.

There were two sides to this too aferall.  I already have (Roco and Bemo) HF110C and HF130C models in H0e, not sure if the same have been made in Oe/On30 by any model makers?

While mostly geared for the European market, Hapo make some nice (expensive) turn tables.  I have one (6496) that a H0e Bachmann Liliput U/Uh class JUST fits on, common for turning locos at stations in Austria.  The model is no bigger than a coster on your coffeetable!  Resin and brass construction, painted and weathered with electrical pick up for the rails.

They have both flat (gedeckte) and well (offene) types, powered and manual, and models of steam powered ones:

Bob,

I understand your apprehension about ordering.

I live in Tennessee and I have a big problem ordering from my local hobbyshop in Knoxville. I have been ordering from St. Aubin's in Ilinois. I haven't had  problem and they are a stocking retailer of Bachmann trains in Large Scale and On30. Call them and talk to them. I have ordered Large Scale brass and had no problems. They will ship the way you want with trackers and all. That's the best way, get UPS or FedEx tracking on what ever you have shipped.  I know the place you had the problem with and I wouldn't buy from them.

Note the prices at St. Aubin, among the best for Bachmann and other brands.

Who is the dealer in Knoxville?  The one that was really good that was on the Knoxville/Oak Ridge border is long gone, and Hobbytown's stock has really decreased when they moved from Cedar Bluff to (high-rent) Turkey Creek.  I spend more money at Gander Mtn or the bookstore than there now.

I have mail ordered/eBay almost 99% of my stuff.  Never a problem, and pay by credit card, so if there ever was, I am covered there too.

First off, lead is still used in paint today, even made within the US.  Just not housing paint (banned for 29 years now), but industrial use is still seen.

Second, the concerns with lead paint have little to do with housekeeping or how kids are raised, but the condition of the housing itself.  Some of the worst cases of interior high lead levels I have encountered were not within public housing units or schools, but houses in "gentrified" areas where two professionals with high incomes had a bright idea of flipping a 100+ old house after watching a few episodes of Bob Vila while their kids "help" rolling around in the debris. 

Sure, our hobby involves hazards, but that is why you have to be smart when you are involved with it (eg, not filing the castings from a 40+ year old LaBelle kit in the living room) and how and what you teach your kids (distract them from the good stuff with a loop of LGB).

Halling o Austria do some trams and some H0e.....

I am not sure what percentage of people who buy Bachmann or other American ON30 eqipment model 30 inch gauge, but it may well be more than you imagine. Remember Bachmann ON30 is sold in quite a lot of countries other than the USA. American locomotive builders exported quite a lot of 30 inch gauge locos to various countries e.g. Central and South America, Africa, Australia and thus people buy Bachmann equipment to model those roads.

Hamish

Heck, some US built stuff ended up in Europe for 30" gauge also, right around the wars.
