Well shoot. I have just learned that tweetsie had a rail bus running on there line. I guss that every NG railroad has at least 1 motorized peice of equipment.

Good evening Bachmann.

I was just wondering on when the nxt anouncement will appear on the web page.

Do any of ya'll think if bachmann were to make the tweetsie ten-wheeler they would modifie it to turn a sharper corner? I had a G-scale 4-6-0 and it turned some sharp curves why can't bachmann do the same with the smaller scale? By the way if any of ya'll checked out the site, what did you think of it?

Forgot to tell ya'll that the open car design on the et&wnc can ve viewed on www.johnsonsdepot.com/crumley/tour1.htm , ya'll can the rise and fall of the et&wnc railroad

Do you already have a layout based on the ET&WNC? If so i would like to see some pictures of it. I was attempting to build it, but two 4x8s and one 1x12 wont work.

Them suckers were big for narrow gauge! I liked them, but the spacing of the wheels were not to my liking.

Looks like the topic has almost derailed. What did the BRB&L Railroads locomotives look like?

I would like some scenery tips. I have attemted mountians, but built them out of brick and plaster.( DO NOT DO THAT) I am a newbie if you want to say because I have not really got a model railroad started, my self being 15, and not having a part time job has a lot to do with it; also money is tight now days and only get my supplies around christmas and my birthday. I aquire my stuff frome my dad and I need some scenery tips on mountians, and also rivers, vally's, the works.

I really dont know what a mason bogy is. I may be a railroad inthusest but I han't got every thang down pat. I am free lancing the Black River & Southern Railroad because I do not have the space for the ET&WNC RR and would like to know how to get some moutians going. My first attempt at a moutian was with brick and a lot of plaster but I for got to add the color before it dried and now I have a snowy mountian in the Eastern part in North Carolina.

I think great selling items would be some open coaches such as the one's used on the ET&WNC RR in the 20s and 30s on trains heading to boone and hitting the fishing hole on the way there and back for a little rest and fun and also I think bachmann should produces people figures in O-scale as well such as the locomotive crew and other people figures in O-scale. I would like to see some civil war figures in O-scale but narrow gauge wont even herd of till 1866 after the civil war but then again there was renagades out still fighting

This did'nt kick off like I planned. Get some topics going or something.

I thought this was about the east .

Just to throw another loco idea out, I would like to see some articulated engines. Hay folks, is there any differnt types of trains on the E.B.T besides the popular mike's? I know the ET&WNC had shays tiny 2-8-0s 0-8-0s and the famouse 4-6-0s and last but not least the 2-6-0 that has the back wheel positioned in the far back un like the the 2-6-0s bachmann makes.

I fancy more of the balloon and others rather than the cabbage not to insult. I find the cabbag stack a unique stack design and first thought that other countrys had the stack for that is what i saw in a book on trains and such. Like it but not what i am usest to seing on trains.

Ya'll stop quaraling and act like civilized people. I am not one to intrude but this is a train board not a chat room. Steam locos are beautiful in design and how they opperate and diesels have nothing compared to the iron horse but I also like diesels but they have to be from the 30s or the past, any how my favorate loco in the tweetsie ten wheeler, although i swear i said this in this board unless i put it in a other one. Oh no i think i did
