What ever happened to the Spectrum D&S NG fire car that was announced a year or more ago?  I had one ordered --W&I Trains--  or did something happen to W&I Trains?  Phones in new Garden Railways seem to be disconnected.

So---bottom, line is--Where can I get one of these cars?

My last conversation with W&I seemed to have the cars in Philly--

Thanks--

Texaco (TCX, CYCX-- and Conoco  CONX) operated tank cars for refined products.

Sloan's epic on freight cars has most of the answers--R. Grandt's pictorials are also good.  gj

I have one in O Scale--imported by NWSL--very nice loco--gj

yes--SP used single tone Leslie Typhon air horn on the Daylights as well as severa; other modern steam locos-Cab-Forwards, Mountains, and Pscifics are some I rem,ember as a kid growing up on the SF Peninsula--  gj

perhaps something could be developed using the tooling for the old "Connie" 2-8-0  gj

As I think of it--D&SNG has several small center-cabs----I think from a steel mill somewhere--gj

Not RGS, but SP #1 was a single-end 50-tonne  with a low cab.  r--Rich Yoder did it in bra$$--  I think that there wer3 a couple of similar units at Plaster City, later at Georgetown Loop--gj

I agree--both of those are on my list--and might as well add the K-37--I have 4 in On3--

Since Maerklin is a 3-rail AC system, and everyone else is 2-4ail DCC, I do not think it is practical--best to keep the two separate.

Rich Yoder had / SP #1 in bra$$--it was available in On30 as well as On3lgj

Did you have an article on this one in Garden Railways??  I recall seeing a conversion like this--

I'd go for these--but would actually prefer the earlier "90" series--the "Shovel -Nose" GE's--but I would hope that the designers leave enough room around  the trucks  so that us On3'erscan easily re-gauge them-

Also--I would like to see the ET&WNC piggyback car (done some years ago in G Scale) done in On30. 

One problem with the older Bachmann metal wheels--the standard size, not the small ones)--is that there are a couple of holes on the back side of the wheels at just the right distance o to catch lighting contacts if you have added LGB-type pickup buttons on the J&S Passenger cars.  Just swap out with newer ones, or fill with JB Weld.   

Bill--I have a box labeled for "GE 45ton"  locomotive--red-unlettered--#81899--I also have one in Santa Fe "Zebra stripes"--the 44-ton  is a 4-motor prototype, the 45-ton was a 2-motor loco having side rods to power the other 2 axles.  

I have seen the 44-tonners--made by either Aristo Craft or USA Trains in 1:29 scale.The  44-ton loco was the result of an agreement with the BLE&F over staffing--Under 89,000 lbs could be operated with only an engineer--90,000 or more had to have a fireman  (I may be a bit off on the weights--but they're in that range)

I suspect that the model was not too popular as Bachmann blew them out via Micro Mark--I didn't really need another one (A new locomotive is self-justifying) but I could not let them get away with selling them at $90--or about that--
