Title: Just in case.....ETB
Post by: bob kaplan on May 30, 2016, 12:54:00 PM
just in case Bachmann is thinking about producing a new engine ( i know....i know....I've read it all) how about something from the East Broad Top...you know something with a definite Eastern profile.   Yes there is the Forney....but it is a modified two foot gauge prototype.  A number 11 would be a smallish engine....but if done with the care that the C 19 has....it would be a super model.   Number 12 would be a tad bigger...and might have a larger following.   Just wishing out loud!!  ;)

Nice but let's keep it geared!

How about this little number:

Or even this number

or even this

A 2 cylinder three truck shay and a small Baldwin geared engine.  Of course neither were 3 ft (42" gauge on the former and meter on the later)

The hoist/ditcher was made in all sorts of guages and guess sort of locomotive since self powered.
