Reply to "Potential Bachmann EBT 2-8-2 project"

The problem with Bachmann in On30 is that they don't make rolling stock to support the locomotives they make.

For example, they make the ET&WNC ten-wheeler in both the 1930s green-gold and the wartime black with gold stripes. But nothing other than that in that road name. And good luck finding accurate ET&WNC decals in O scale, even after all this time. Sadder still, the Bachmann 'high gon' is a halfway decent shorty version of the gons the Tweetsie had, but you have to remove the top two horinzontal boards from the sides to make that work better.

The passenger cars aren't the same, but a green coach with white ET lettering would be decent enough. But nope, Bachmann makes no cars for the RR name they make many locomotives for.

My point is if Bachmann makes engines in a specific roadname, they should make some cars to go with them!
