I've started this new topic for the disscusion of new locomotive Ideas for HO scale. Personally I'm a BIG fan of steam and Bachmann does have an impressive fleet already. But what will be their nex loco?

   Dear, Mr. Bach-Mann,
  To start this disscusion off, I'd like to say I'm quite fond of your HO steam fleet. Although, in your Spectum line there are no engines from Pre-1900. Your standard    4-4-0, for example the Jupiter, are very nice locomotives. But I feel they lack the quality of Spectrum locomotives. Acctually that is quite obvious. Now your Baldwin    4-6-0 is an extremly nice model. Although I do like early 20th Century railroading I prefer to model the mid to late 1800's.
     The suggestion I have is for a 4-6-0, but this one is pre-1900. It is my beliefe that a Spectrum model of the Rogers 1890 4-6-0 would be a popular choice. Although it would be older it would still find use in early to mid 20th Century Railroads.

   The engine was made famous by the movie "Back to the Future III", that way it is claer as to what locomotive I'm speaking of.
   
     Please reply back. *Smiles*

Hey guys, I'm really excited about the new K-27. Although the engine is beautiful out of the box, my favorite version of the loco is the "As-Built" version. I'd like to modify the Bachmann model to match the sa built version. I feel the most difficult and most chalenging modifications would be to model the Vauclain Compound Cylenders, extended smoke box, and the large Headlight.

Do You Guys have any suggestions?
