Oregon Pacific & Eastern locomotive

[bill collins]

Did Bachmann veer make a diesel locomotive with this road name? Possibly a Spectrum. If so, when?

Hi Bill,

According to our records and the best of my knowledge, Bachmann has never made any items with this roadname.

I'm not aware that any locomotives have ever been offered painted for this road in any scale.  Bachmann has made two locomotives which could be custom painted to match OP&E locomotives, the 70-ton General Electric switcher (OP&E owned three of them, #10, #12, and #14) and the Alco S2, of which the railroad owned one (#21).  Other diesels the OP&E owned were an EMD SW-8 #602 (Life-Like/Walthers would make the best starting point) plus a couple others that have seldom if ever been offered in model form, GE 110-ton #11 and Plymouth DLC-6 numbered 14-1/2 (seriously).

I forgot about one other diesel the OP&E owned, S-3 #101 for a few years in the late 1950s/early 1960s.  Atlas and Proto 2000 have produced those.
