there is a post on the OGR forum asking for Bachmann to make O guage Brittish equipment. I have brought this up from time to time, as has Dave Allen. the quality of Bachmann's 'OO' guage Brittish trains is the best in the market. put a Brittish outline body on a WBB chassis and you would have a sales hit! even Lionel and MTH are on the band wagon. so PLEASE Bachmann. 'O' guage Brittish on a WBB chassis.
I have zero interest in European trains in any gauge.
How about the MALLARD! Locomotive, not Daffy!
the Mallard would be a good choice. I have seven of the A4 class in 'oo' scale. use a hudson chassis with a two wheel trailing truck. the frame off a 2046 tender with differant wheels. only thing left is the body moldings. I would buy them even if WBB made the body out of plastic, just to get them in 'O' at WBB prices and quality.
