I dont see the side rods being a problem, the weight maybe. If it could only manage a few cars so be it! Switching duty it is. I would certainly buy several. How cool would that be!

One in N scale!

Anyone know what this loco will pull on a 4%(i think,it might be more) grade? Thanks in advance! I have a "terrain for trains" layout that i would like to run one on, The loco would be pulling 4-5 shortie overtons and the model power 4-4-0 wont do it.

Would love to see Bachmann make this loco a reality in N scale. I have built one,  (see 2008 n scale addendum) other talented folks have scratch built them. I think these and other geared steam (heisler for example) would steal the show in N scale. I feel they would sell great. I have no desire to build another, and I kick myself for selling the one I built. That B climax sold for just under 400.00 bucks....... are you hearing me? I am not the only one that feels this way. Every one loves your HO and larger offerings, N scale is becoming more popular every year. Steal the show Bachmann! If we can stir up some interest and some replies and comments, would Bachmann take notice? We could try. If you search 45 ton climax on u tube, you can see my dcc climax. It can be done....
