     OK Kids,
    If your going to do this right you need Dudley Do Right, of the RCMP.
He was always saving some damsel in distress ( who was tied to the railroad tracks) just seconds before the train got to her.

                Enjoy,
                    Barry

Nice idea.  :) ;) :D ;D

You're more likely to find the figures in a size compatible with Large Scale.  On a previous garden railway I had a number of such figures--including Disney's "Beagle Boys" holding up the train--complete with balls and chains on their feet. 

If not overdone, an occasional gag figure or group can be fun.  One of my "favorite Prototypes" is the F&C.  I was working on the parlor car "Belle Murphy" with the added vista dome--

I was gonna go with large scale, but I changed my mind, due to budget reasons.

http://www.steamlocomotive.info/vlocomotive.cfm?Display=887(note: I know MMI is making this, but this is just in case it is one of their cancelled products)
It won't be. I emailed them about it and it is due this summer. I would still like to see a Bachmann model of it since the MMI one will need a 24" min radius. However there are other models that I would like to see A LOT more.

Great! I'm gonna save my money for that model!
BTW, here are my top 3 most wanted diesels

I don't think Bachmann would have to pay Baldwin Locomotive Works anything. I think they might have to pay the park. Or Crown Locomotive works, which is owned by Tweetise Railroad. Speaking of that. You could take the new ET&WNC 4-6-0 coming out, and paint her up in the crappy tourist scheme that's at TRR......or take the other locomotives and take some bright colors to them, and add a park name of your choice, and presto' a park locomotive.

Btw. I'm Not trying to sound rude, but you really have to limit your posting on product ideas. I mean it is great and all, but the product ideas are very strange and un-common to get produced in the 1st place.

Rock On!
Dusten

It's  OK. I need a break anyways. ;)

Take a loco. Any loco.

Sit on a bit of track. Any track.

Glue the whole lot on a board.

Add a bit of scenry and kids play ground equipment.

Not only do you have a park train but you have one parked up as well............................ ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)

Sorry about that, chief. It just slipped out. ;D


I guess your right. Any engine could be a park engine. Take the locomotives at Knott's Berry Farm, for example.

By the way, when I said "park trains" I didn't mean the engines built by major companies such as Baldwin.

Personally, I really like the 2-4-2.  I do think that particular 2-4-2 has the drivers too far forward to make it into a feasible 2-4-0.  The Santa Maria Valley Railway Historical has a very nice 2-4-0, which would work as an On30 model.



Some folks have also turned the Forney into a very plausible 2-4-0.

That's nothing. I've heard of a guy who turned a 0-4-0 Compressed air engine into a forney.  :) ;)

On30 / My Layout
February 01, 2009, 08:37:36 AM
Hi. I'm going to take a break from posting links on other topics to tell you about my layout.

I'm interested in On30 because it can combine 2 and 3 foot gauge prototypes. I'm especially a fan of the Bumblebee paint sceme of the Denver and Rio Grande Western. I think it is the Warbonnet of narrow gauge.

In addition, I plan to have cartoon characters to entertain the kids including The Super Mario Brothers and the characters from Open Season.

I'm currently saving up for a train show coming in February. Can anyone please offer some advice? Thank you. My table for my layout is, by the way, 6x8.
