Title: Tropicana
Post by: Joe323 on November 05, 2018, 07:38:22 AM
I notice that Bachmann is going a GE 70 tonner Tropicana locomotive in N scale.  Any chance of releasing an HO version to go with my refers?

The Tropicana 70-Tonner is being introduced in Williams 3-Rail O Scale, not N scale: https://shop.bachmanntrains.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=491_495_1093&products_id=6886&zenid=lc2shqnem62vgsalug70lrqr70.

There are no plans for an HO version at this time.

I knew it was somewhere because Jack Lynch mentioned it at the TCA

Looking at the prototype it may be possible for me to letter my own However I cannot seem to find the right font to produce the O in Tropicana and it would help to know the shades of red and green.

Joe.....try checking the zero characters in your available fonts. You may find something close enough to pass in HO scale.
