Title: why not

Bachmann,what about making the IF 4-4-0 into a 2-6-0? . it seems that it would make a nice looking little mogul.  your thought. ;D

Dear Royce,
I agree, but there are other locos to come first before another Mogul. I'll pass along your suggestion, though.
Have fun!

Would a HEISLER be one of those ???  Could you pass that along as a suggestion while you are at it  ::) ::) ::)

Instead of a 2-6-0, why not make your own 4-6-0?  I thought the wheel spacing on the IF 4-4-0 was a bit off, so I did a quick Photoshop of the 4-4-0 with the mechanism and drivers from the HO 4-6-0, the one with the smaller drivers.  The scale is exact, but of course there would probably need to be some metal grinding, and some adjustment to the rods.

Cass Scenic Railroad... I didn't make that connection, but I like it!  My C.S.R.R. is one of my own inventions, purely fictitious, located in the Southeast US, and mostly a collection of rolling stock waiting for a place to run.  The Cass sounds like a great place, though.  Gotta make it up there some time.

Wow, that looks rather cool. Stick a steel cab on it and you've got a sale.  :D Infact, anyone want to bash this for real?

I sometimes wish people would stop coming up with these good ideas, as it keeps distracting me from wanting a Heisler!
