Someone said that Bachmann once made a 4-6-2 Pacific in 1/20. Is that true and if so, how can one be located?

Bachmann's 1/20.3 scale line is American 3-foot gauge (narrow gauge) prototypes..
considering there was never a 3-foot gauge Pacific, there isnt much sense in making a model of one! ;)

there were some meter gauge and "cape gauge" (3 foot 6 inch gauge) Pacifics..
which are close to 3-foot gauge..
but I doubt those would be of interest to US narrow gauge modelers..

Bob C,

Thanks for that one ;D. Some of us even use Bachmann narrow gauge stuff to represent standard gauge. My Missouri Western Ry uses Bachmann 4-6-0's and Connies and Porters and shays to represent a part of the standard gauge CB&Q line that once ran thru my hometown. A pacific would fit right in!! ;D ;D

Actually Baldwin built at least two 3Ft gauge Pacifics SN 41677 & 41678, Outside frame.
Small tender but a nice looking engine neverless.
