What no ARCADE AND ATTICA RR model for Bachmann's GE 44tonner? What a shame for local model railroaders here in the rochester, NY and BUFFALO, NY area..

Tom

 Gentlemen ,
   
    I am trying to create my own steam loco roster and I have two questions they are :

I already have converted and repowered a older Bachmann 2-8-2 into a 0-8-0

  1- I have a older Bachmann 4-8-4"1990's vintage" and a Bachmann N&W J tender could I place the N&W J tender behind the 4-8-4 or could a clear vision tender that will fit the N&W J tender chassis ?

  2- Can I find just the 4-8-2 loco only? Being that I have the 4-8-2 tender  ..

  Tom

  How about this try kitbashing a 4-6-0 model from Bachmann's Spectrum 4-8-2 and 2-8-0

The 2-8-0 shell and the pilot (lead) truck from the 4-8-2

How long ago did E-R go Bankrupt did they have a website?

 While we are on this topic for the moment,at the time of the BALDWIN SHARKS introduction / production I would have expected BACHMANN to add them in their SPECTRUM LINE of locomotives.

Tom

  I emailed ATHEARN about this subject earlier this morning , here's their reply. Thank-you for your inquiry. Please note that we have produced a model of the CF-7 (please see the link to our web site below for more information) but we have never produced a model of a GP15.

JNJ TRAINS may have the only plastic GP15 shell available ..

Tom

  I know that Overland has produced a variety of locomotives over the years, however, JNJ TRAINS does produce the GP15 shell all you need to do is add the chassis .

Tom

  I am in the process of attempting to power a Del Prado Chinese Mikado,I'll keep you posted on the progress ..

Tom

  How about this, we all suggest or petition to BACHMANN for a partnership with Minitrix to produce both the 2-10-0 and the 4-6-0 and other steam locomotives for N-SCALE, I think we might just receive better running locomotives . Please correct me if I am mistaken I believe that Minitrix has the mold for both the
2-10-0 and the 4-6-0, then again we would have to take in account of  the dollar amount for the loco's . However, we also could be stuck with the old MP/Minitrix 2-10-0 ...

 I don't know if this topic has already been posted could anyone or a BACHMANN representative explain the cancellation of the 2-10-0 in the SPECTRUM LINE N-SCALE, I was ready to purchase two of them.
