these two sights show all the steamers the WP&Y had

the top one is a 2-6-0 its now moved to the white pass yard and the bottom engine is a 4-6-0 but an OUTSIDE FRAME 4-6-0. you can see the counterweights.

oh they also got the Sumpter Valley 2-8-2s 19 and 20 that now are back at the Sumpter Valley railroad. 19 pulls tourist and 20 is waiting restoration. Those 2 locos might of been scraped if there where not up there during the war. who knows

Just think how awesome a layout like that can be. all those different kinds of locomotives and rolling stock.

the 2-8-2 steamers would be cool to. OR even any of the their steamers they had back in the day. do a k-28 lettered for the Army. Or anything. There is a huger verity of stuff that ran up there that can make great models.

is a new book i have just made of over 60 pics i have taken in the year 2008 in Durango Colorado. i would like for you all to check it out. there is a shot preview but that is just a small portion of what you get in the book.

well a lot of people are excited about the new 4-6-0 but there is also one more possibility they can letter the engine as




they also went to Alaska for the USA Army and the WP&Y

a stub switch is where both rails move

even if the C&S had problems people still like to model it but thats kinda hard with just one 2-6-0

I love the size for on30 but it is tempting because all those other scales have the models that I want. I just hope that ON30 one day has all those models too.

Yes one of these would be even better than a K-27!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bachmann can first make this engine and get peoples minds away from engines that are all ready out there

here is an hon3 model of an early k-27,


and with out the plow


and if bachman did do the more modern look of the k-27s, one reason y bman could do engines any other company makes is that bachman's are easier to kit bash then MMI
that gives people a chance to make new engines
and not have to tare up the metal ones of MMI

K27s are considerably larger than the Bachmann 2-8-0. For a start drivers are 40 inch on the K27, 36 inch on the prototype for the 2-8-0, with rest roughly in proportion. The conversions mentioned by Tomcat converted a 1:20.3 scale 2-8-0 to a 1:22.5 scale K 27. A similar conversion of an ON30 2-8-0 would result in a 1:53 scale K27.

3ft gauge in on30 is not to scale. I bet most people would not mind if it is a little off.

instead of the onion stack they can add a bear trap on the stack

and the CS/RGS is very different then the drgw c class engines. It is also can be like the other bman 2-8-0 but inside frame. How many 2-8-0s? well how many 2-8-0s did the railroads build in real life, there is a lot of different types of engines of the same wheel arrangement.
