Bachmann Indy upgrade suggestion

Dear Mr. Bachmann:

Here is a Allen Models Fitchburg Northern model on YouTube:

The Bachmann Indy could model an actual prototype by:

- changing the dome arrangement on the boiler ( bell, one sand dome, steam dome )
- smaller diameter drivers ( already existing Bachmann components )
- larger steam cylinder and steam chest ( already existing Bachmann component from the Little Hauler )

Hopefully to be retailed at the same market pricing as the current Indy model.

This would make a nice 2-6-0 logging Mogul for the 1:22.5 customer which can also be marketed as 1:20.3 by mounting the 1:20.3 headlamp. At least the 1:22.5 customer could purchase this model and simply replace the headlamp with a 1:22.5 sized headlamp.


Hoping that those in charge will take up my suggestion to introduce a new product model at a very minimal new mold cost,

Norman
