Hi Guys,
Not an N scaler, but I do work in HOe NG on 9mm track and I'm looking for a chassis for a bogie railcar.
I wonder, could anyone, please, tell me the overall length over body ends of the Bachmann Doodlebug ?
If possible in mm please.
Thanx,
Frank Savery,
w-a-y down south in Tasmania.

Hi all,
I'm thinking about doing an On30 diesel kitbash using the new Bachmann Alco S4 loco as a basis.
Can anyone please tell me if :
The footplate/hood/cab
are all one moulding OR are they seperate mouldings?

Thank You,

Hi,
I just purchased a Shay loco on E-Bay - Didn't think to check, I just assumed that ALL On30 Shays had factory fitted DCC.
Now I see it's only DCC ready - Can anyone tell me what decoder harness I need, I prefer to use TCS decoders If I can, failing that Digitrax.
Thanks.

Hi Guys,
I've been out of On30 for a couple of years, so I'm just catching up with what's Gone on (or rather, not gone on!). Maybe it's all to do with the financial crisis and recession, which I know has been a lot worse in the US and Europe than in Australia, where it's all passed us by with very little effect.

Looking through the online catalogue, the pace of things seems to have slowed right down and apart from the SRR&RL type Caboose and a  artic loco, very little seems to be new.

When I was last reading these pages there was talk of Porters with DCC On Board and maybe even sound, a Davenport with sound on board, a "bigger" diesel loco and an Excursion Car~ has anything been happening with these projects ? ~ or was it just wishful thinking ? Did those plans for On30 rolling stock from Brazil ever come to anything ?

Any info much appreciated,
Cheers, Frank Savery

Hi,
Is there any difficulty in fitting a basic decoder to the HO MAVIS & TOBY ? I don't suppose they are "DCC Ready" but are there any issues with having to insulate the motor ??
Thanx

Hi all,
To quote an old British Army song ~ "Oh, why are we waiting, oh, why do we wait ..............."

The French Voie Metrique website,see :
http://narrow-gauge.org/en/album/album.aspx?Id=330

managed to post photos of the new On30 Bachmann items while the Anaheim show was still on ~ almost two weeks after it finished the Bach Man STILL hasn't managed to post any photos of them taken at Anaheim !


SURELY, the time for secrecy is now past !!!

Hi,
A quick question regarding the On30 Highside Gondola with load `

Q. Is the load 'removable' or is it moulded as part of the car

The wise men at Bachmann seem to keep a fairly close connection between Large scale and On30 Products. So, hopefully there will be a Mallet in our On30 future.
If so, don't you think the Little River # 148
see:

would be a perfect prototype for a On30 model ?
