Dear Mr. Bachmann:
Here is another suggestion for an Indy replacement:
Vulcan No. 2 of Pacific Coast RR
very similar to the Indy but better looking with the boiler far lower and closer to the pilot deck

My other request is for a WW&F #10

Could you build the WW&F # 10 in 1:20.3 scale to run on Gauge 0 track ?
Thank you
Norman
What is Indy?

Doug,
"Indy" is the name folks have given to Bachmann's Industrial Mogul.

This is an Indy modified with a Banta wood cab. The Banta kit also came with coal boards for the tender.
The Indy is a nice little locomotive, that with just a small amount of added weight will handle a cut of a few cars or up to three J&S coaches.

This is a short video of the CD&StL's Indy with a box car and three extended length J&S coaches in tow.

Sorry, couldn't resist.
