How about Argent Lumber #3 Bachmann?

Would make a great model in the On30 line up, tiny but unique with the reverse headlight on the cab roof and unique tender.  Prototype along with other ex Argent Lumber engines still exist either on static display or in operation on tourist lines. Prototype existed after most other steam logging operations were gone.  Argent was still hauling Cyprus logs out of the swamps.  They were the last of the swamp rats.  Great little logging/mining Mogul that would open up that unique logging line to modelers.  Here is my On3 brass version from Flying Zoo.  Sadly, the lack of ready to use On3 track has kept this model in the china cabinet.  I would put my money down right now if Bachmann announced this as an upcoming model in On30, along with a reissue of the Climax with a 3rd truck option.
