Mr Bach Man
As there is a 1/20 scale Heisler in the Bachmann catalog is there any chance of a Heisler in 0n30?
An ON30 Heisler is long overdue - it has been one of the most consistently asked for items for many years but for some reason that I do not know Bachmann has never made one.

If Bachman was to make a Heisler, and I mean : IF; what style would people be interesed in:
a: the ' I ' frame lighter weight Heisler
or
b: the 'diamond' framed heaver weight Heisler.
Myself, I would love the 'I' frame. We had 7 of them imported to New Zealand in the early part of last century.

Hi all,
we have been banging on that dead horse for years don´t we: Its time for a Heisler, definitely... Why not the G-Scale model, or something pretty cool: One of the Westside Engines with a option for Standard Gauge...???

I wouldn't give up hope yet. How long did people have to wait for the 4-6-0 to be announced?
Mike
That is maybe. But the lack of a Heisler is totally keeping me out of spending any more ON30. Sure we had Climax's here ( 7 actually) but the Climax doesn't do much for me.
So Mr B. What's the story?

OK people
Five of us 0n30 guys would like to see a"Heisler",but what type/class would we like light/heavy?Remember guys Mr Bach Man has to sell the model to the rest of the world,so size will matter!!!
Tim
Small. 30 ish tons and 'I' frame. I do like the photo of the one above even if it is a diamond frame.
Although I do wonder how many more years we will have to keep bleating about wanting one.
How about the little 13ton Heisler!

Hello All; The NARROW GAUGE NATIONALS are only a few days away and we can only hope that B'mann kept something back to announce at this BIG show. This would be the perfect time and place to give us a Heisler and some new cars. We can only hope and anticipate! Jim

Wow. Thats nice! I would eather like that or West side no.2 for a Heisler.
As for size I would like one about the same size as the climax. The shay size is a bit small for me.
Out of anything I would like mine inside famed. Although if Bachmann does the same sort of thing as the G scale one. There will be inside and outside ones released. :)
Is there any info on the National Narrow Gauge convention on the web. Either i missed it or deleted info on it? Cheers.

I would like to see #2. But with the usual accomadations of different loads. Wood or Coal, as well as oil, but I am more "play with fire" kind of guy, rather than watching one. ;D
Rock On!

Yes Lindsay T.; There is a web sight for the National Narrow Gauge Convention; www.28thnngc.com/
Thanks heaps. Looks like those lucky con goers are going to have a full on time.
Cheers

I'm still waiting for a Heisler too. I don't care what type is produced, I will buy it. Come on Bachmann. Get with the program. If it sold in other scales, it will sell in On30 too. Please, please, please.........

Heisler, that ol horse again...
Sure - I would quote for the old West Side Heislers (No.2,3 or 4) which would be a perfect fit to Bachmann´s range of Logging Engines. Not too big, a more modern design,
the WSLCo Heisler would bring another cool detail: Make it able to run on O-Scale Standard Gauge by exchanging the trucks as the real thing.
I do remember that a Brass model had this detail, but I can´t recall who did it.
Probably PSC, but I´m not sure.
Cheers, Tom :) :) :)
