Thank you so much The Bach-man!

Hi Guys,

Could someone here give me the paint reference used for the grey paint color applied?

I am making a weathering on my loco and I would like to be able to easily shade the shadows and lights starting from the base color used...

Thanks,

All the best,

Franck

Hi guy's,

   Saturday, October 11, 2008â€"8:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.

Hamish,

Thanks for sharing! I would be happy too with any of the WW1 narrow gauge steam loco and 2-6-2t would be a good choice for Bachmann...

I expect too Bachmann make a Baldwin 50 HP gas mechanical one day 

Hamish,

Thanks for your answer!

To my Knowledge, the loco preserved in France from Austalia, is a Baldwin 2-6-2t n° 46 828, and named "Felin Hen" converted to an 0-6-2t during his long career...This loco is preserved at the Tacot des Lacs in France :

The project is to restore it, to an 2-6-2t!

About the 4-6-0t, I know only one model restored in England at the Leigthon Buzzard railway, this loco came from India and was named "Lion"...

According to a friend, there is also a project to restore the Baldwin 4-6-0t preserved at the Imperial War Museum. This loco came from India and was named "Tiger"....

....now in France and three Baldwin 4-6-0T's. One of these survives as a 4-6-0 at a Gold Coast theme park.

Where are the two others preserved Baldwin 4-6-0t?

Franck.

I forgot      , you can find in France, two original ALCO 2-6-2t, one preserved at the APPEVA and one at the AMTP :

2-6-2t were built too by Vulcan with some changes...

Dear Franck,
Actually, Mr. Riley and I have discussed these locos and cars regularly. We'll continue the discussion...
Have fun!
the Bach-man

Good News!

Don't forget, it's supply which create demand  It's what made the success of On30 here and in Europe!

Hamish,

Yes ! The 2-6-2t steam loco would be a good choice, and after why not an ALCO ...The loco preserved at the Ffestiniog railway in Wales is modified loco, but there is an original sample of the ALCO 2-6-2t in France at the APPEVA railway!

The Baldwin 50 HP gas mechanical would be too a nice choice, there are differents models preserved in France and in England...

Hey Mr Bach-Man, the ball's in your court 

Hi Bach-Man,

Is there any thought of introducing some European models for On30? I think in particular, to U.S. Army 60cm Gauge Railway locos (steam or  gas mechanical) and rolling stock used in the First World War in France!

These locos and rolling stock were used of course at the end of the First World War In France (1917-1918) but not only!

Immediately after the armistice, the light railways were sold or given to the French and used to help in reconstruction…

They were used too by the U.S. army post-war, in different camps for example, at fort Benning (Georgia); fort Dix (New Jersey); fort Humphrey (Virginia), etc.

Locomotives and rolling stock were used too in domestic use post-war…in the U.S. and around the world like France (of course!); Brazil; Egypt; India; Australia…

Some locos and rolling stock are preserved in France by the APPEVA :

and in England by the LEIGHTON BUZZARD RAILWAY :
