Would like to see Bachmann bring this in with a price of about $100 to 125.
Probably should add a zero to those numbers.

It would look daft in On30. That's 42" Cape Gauge.

This would better fit in with Bachmann's On30 line-up - 66 cm. gauge, preserved at Sandstone Estates in S. Africa.  There is also one of these locos on a private estate in Texas.  http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8399/8747038013_f60e68f1e8_z.jpg
