Have you guys thought about making a 0-4-0 Gypsy steam engine for either HO or G scale at a more reasonable price unlike the current all brass G scale model?
Dear Freak,
Do you mean the Falk by MoLoco works? Beautiful loco!
No, we haven't considered it...
Have fun!

That is a neat little bugger.

Not exactly sure about the name, but yes, its made by the same people. I can't afford a all brass engine. Have any of these ever been made in to HO scale?
Dear All,

Interesting. Apparently available as either narrow (3') gauge or standard gauge, both in 1:20.3. (45mm and 70.64mm).
Hope this helps.
Sincerely,

Dear All,
I approached through google, then copied and pasted the address line using a Vista machine. I remember the pictures took a few seconds to load, otherwise no problem.
Apologies if it causes/caused trouble.... not sure why. I'll edit the address out of my earlier post.
Sincerely,

I've been pushing for an 0-4-0 too, but I 'm not counting on it.
I would suspect that the market may be saturated with the two versions being made. (Falk and Bear Harbor)

That along with the fact that both the Falk and Bear Harbor engines are standard gauge. Producing them in accurate scale / gauge (1:20.3 / 70.6mm) relationship would be a real stretch, even for Bachmann, the premier manufacturer of 1:20.3 scale equipment.
