On30 / New 0n30 steam locos?
April 13, 2024, 07:01:24 PM
I was in a discussion about new steam locos in 0n30 scale. I wonder if Bachmann have any plans or intentions to release any new locomotives. The Spectrum range are such great locos and there is a need for new ones. Another run of 2-8-0's would be best sellers for sure.  :D
With the best of care they wear out eventually. My Forney is ancient, but still goes, and the big ten wheeler is no youngster either.
I hope Bachmann are planning to continue with 0n30. The loss of Spectrum locos would be a blow.

On30 / Little Yarra 2-4-0 tender loco.

I put this on the 'wish list" thread a while ago, and no doubt it's been said before, but I want to see Bachmann bring out a 2-4-0 tender locomotive, based on the Little Yarra locomotive that Baldwin built in 1912 for the Powelltown tramway in Australia.

It's pretty much a 2-4-4 Forney cut off and a 6 wheel tender added. Must be do-able?

I bring it up again, because a company here in Australia is in the production stage of a release of a brass and white metal kit of that very locomotive. It will be very desirable and very expensive! I expressed my interest  :D

If Bachmann genuinely intend to continue to support 0N30 with RTR locomotives, they might do very well to consider it.

just a thought?  ;D
