Mr Bach Man
As there is a 1/20 scale Heisler in the Bachmann catalog is there any chance of a Heisler in 0n30?

Hamish K

An ON30 Heisler is long overdue -  it has been one of the most consistently asked for items for many years but for some reason that I do not know  Bachmann has never made one.

If Bachman was to make a Heisler, and I mean : IF; what style would people be interesed in:

a: the ' I ' frame lighter weight Heisler

or

b: the  'diamond' framed heaver weight Heisler.

Myself, I would love the 'I' frame. We had 7 of them imported to New Zealand in the early part of last century.

Hi all,

we have been banging on that dead horse for years donĀ“t we: Its time for a Heisler, definitely... Why not the G-Scale model, or something pretty cool: One of the Westside Engines with a option for Standard Gauge...???

I wouldn't give up hope yet.  How long did people have to wait for the 4-6-0 to be announced?

That is maybe. But the lack of a Heisler is totally keeping me out of spending any more  ON30. Sure we had Climax's here ( 7 actually) but the Climax doesn't do much for me.

So Mr B. What's the story?

OK people
Five of us 0n30 guys would like to see a"Heisler",but what type/class would we like light/heavy?Remember guys Mr Bach Man has to sell the model to the rest of the world,so size will matter!!!

Small. 30 ish tons and 'I' frame. I do like the photo of the one above even if it is a diamond frame.

Although I do wonder how many more years we will have to keep bleating about wanting one.

Hello All; The NARROW GAUGE NATIONALS are only a few days away and we can only hope that B'mann kept something back to announce at this BIG show. This would be the perfect time and place to give us a Heisler and some new cars. We can only hope  and anticipate! Jim

I vote for this one


Wow. Thats nice! I would eather like that or West side no.2 for a Heisler.

As for size I would like one about the same size as the climax. The shay size is a bit small for me.

Out of anything I would like mine inside famed. Although if Bachmann does the same sort of thing as the G scale one. There will be inside and outside ones released. :)

Is there any info on the National Narrow Gauge convention on the web. Either i missed it or deleted info on it? Cheers.

I would like to see #2. But with the usual accomadations of different loads. Wood or Coal, as well as oil, but I am more "play with fire" kind of guy, rather than watching one. ;D
Rock On!
