Title: New 2-8-2
Post by: mike d on April 27, 2011, 05:19:13 PM
Is the 2-8-2 that is going to be produced from the former K-Line tooling, a scale or semi-scale loco?

Dear All,
It looked very scale to me. We'll have pictures up soon.
Have fun!

I'm looking forward to this Loco.
I heard it is Kline tooling from Bachmann's TCA presentation at York, Pa.

Looking scale and being scale are two different things. There is much discussion on the OGR forum regarding this loco and if it is in fact a scale loco. It appears as though Lionel and Bachmann are both producing a Mike from the K-line tooling and no one is quite sure as to the particulars of the models that will be released by these two companies. Were there two different models offered by K-line? If so, who is producing which? Many of us would greatly appreciate some clarification. I would really like to get a U.P. version of the Mike if is truly a scale model.
