Have fun!
the Bach-man

why is it some people seem to get so defensive if someone says they don't like a new Bachmann product?

if Bachmann doesn't have any interest in making more "common, standard, North American style, common carrier locos that is certainly their business, and if that is the direction they want to take their product line, so be it, but that certainty doesn't mean I have to happy about it 

and I might take a small exception to the statement that there is a broad spectrum of locomotives too...outside of the original 2-6-0, there isn't any any non-logging, non industrial "3'-ish" North American locos available from Bachamnn...

I agree Dusten

it seems a curious choice to me      and IMHO, after the "new" has worn off the OF 4-4-0, the two 4-4-0s will simply cannibalize the sales of one another...

it seems there is no niche that one 4-4-0 would fill that the other wouldn't fill nearly as well...and at the same time there are dozens or more other locos that would have given On30 modelers choices of something they can't get now...

ah well, maybe someday Bachmann will make another loco I can use, but I'm not betting on it 

I model California "common carrier" 3' narrow gauge...but I can't commit to 1903 or 1938/39

mmiller exactly where are you seeing content centered? There shouldn't be any centered text. Can you give me details of your setup? Browser, system, etc.

Thanks


Update: Never mind, found it. Fixed.

thanks, much better now 

looks nice enough...
BUT the center justified text is a lot harder to read than standard left justified text is 

I saw the other day Wiseman Model Service had some On30 Whaleback tenders on Ebay

Quote from: Dusten Barefoot(The Rocker) on May 24, 2008, 10:30:24 AMNo one really wants a small compact little sucker.

No, unfortunately, I think most On30 modelers prefer equipment to pull 10 foot boxcars around 15 inch radius curves.

I'm not sure about most, but the most vocal ones sure do... 

unfortunately, I doubt we'll see another Bachammn loco's that based on a 3', non-logging, non-industrial prototype...

I'm not going to "ask" for anything...


...maybe then I won't be so disappointed when it's announced 

very nice

that's coming right along!

Bachmann really aught to think about dipping into their "parts bin" and making there own On30 4-6-0s

I'd love to see some pictures of what you've done

thanks guys...glad to help...and don't forget to get your 2008 On30 Annual http://www.on30annual.com/ 

the valve gear and cylinders is the one area I'm really not happy with 

the design of the Henry parts caused me to make too many compromises...I think I need to toss out the cylinders and most of the valve gear and build new, wider spaced cylinders, with a Stephenson style valve gear...

making the cylinders wider (farther apart) should let me make the cylinders bigger and still clear the pony truck

Hello guys...

I finally got something put together on how I put together my Henry based 4-6-0...hope it helps!
