Glad to see somebody else wants the Little River loco.  Third Rail is now doing its

second west coast 6 drivered artic, and, this time, one that is widely known, but, still

not the Little River.

The Little River 2-4-4-2 has been done twice in HO and, I think, twice in O scale 2

rail, but us three railers are still the orphan waifs freezing on the street corner in the snow.

I only turned up about three eight-drivered articulateds in the 1941 Loco. Cyclopedia,

not including anything looking like this Bachmann creation....any idea what prototype

Bachmann found for this?

I owned a 2-6-6-2 in On30 and if I am not mistaken, it was made for export to work the sugar plantation.

 

I recall the 2-4-4-2 in HO and also in O. I am not sure if I will get one in O scale. 0n30 is somewhat like a child in between sizes. And I think there is a Saddletank in G which like $1600-

 

I would be right there behind Oliver and his bowl asking for more.

I've got the 2-6-6-2 w/sound...got her off of evilbay{taker of my money} for only $150. That sound is great too. I love how one has options for the tender load as well as stack choice and light style...bach did they're customers right.

 

There's a guy there who's real store has some nice deals...would it be out of place to say who that is here....don't want to ruffle any feathers.

-George, email sent.

 

-Everyone else, just do a search on ebay under On30 in the model trains section...there's a place in texas that'll stand out, but I've found good deals from others there too.

A suggestion though, when you find what you think is a good deal on ebay, try a search of the web for your intended purchase, you might be surprised that you could find a better price still elsewhere......this is obviously for those who've not really used ebay ever for hunting...the rest of us know the routine.

I suppose I should toss this up for everyone's reference concerning the bachmann 2-4-4-2. She's set up as "DCC ready", while the 2-6-6-2 is either DCC or DCC/sound. I'm guessing that bachmann is starting to make more engines in this way because some folks want simple DCC control while others want that and sound. I recently purchased 2 bachmann DCC HO diesels for some On30 kitbashing since our On30 roster here is steam and railbus only - no diesels. I've come to realize that the bachmann's DCC board isn't set up for adding just sound after that fact, one really needs to install a whole new board for "both". The 2-4-4-2 is set up that one can choose which way he/she wants to go- DC anolog {good to go right out of the box}, DCC or DCC/sound...your choice. I like that better than having to yank my oem bachmann DCC board and swapping it totally out...although with getting the GP40 DCC at $35 and getting the Tsunami DCC/sound board at $81{both on ebay} I'll have better sound and CV control than the bachmann DCC value sound units out there at roughly $100plus....worth it imho...maybe not yours.
