This link will take you to a great little narrow gauge locomotive built by Baldwin.
It would make a great prototype for Bachmann to produce.

That's a nifty looking engine and I would be interested in one if some company built one at a reasonable price.
TOF in Hawaii
Yum!
I just LOVE Pannier Tanks!!!! :-* :-* :-*
Has any one any details about this loco?

If you search the forums here, you'll find a number of posts (a number by Hamish and me) about 2-6-2T prototypes, and the call for Bachmann to make a model. You have a real find here!
Here is more information:

Thanks again Kevin for the link. I'm a regular on the ngdiscussion.net board, but have been pretty busy this week (year end processing!), and did not see that thread. It is a very cool locomotive and would be right up Bachmann's alley with the previous Brazil and other South of the Border locomotives they have produced. Oh, and that big stack as well! :o

Thanks Kevin for posting this loco and Mark for the link with information on it Lovely little loco. Baldwin made quite a few outside frame 2-6-2t side tanks including the Puffing Billy NA class (Australia), a loco that ran in Hawaii, this one and probably several others..They vary a bit in size and details but all share the same general appearance.The Large Scale Lynn loco (prototype ran on Britain), although a 2-4-2t also is of similar appearance. So I agree it would make a good model with fairly wide applicability. Personally I would mot mind which particular prototypel was chosen, but then my line is freelance, although based on Australian practice. I suspect, if made, Bachmann would market it as a catalogue loco, not a specific prototype.

Hey I like that Loco, looks a lot like my americanized G-scale "Lyn"
