Have there been any serious issues with the Heisler or Centercab? I know the earlier Climax and Shay had gear issues..
Received these answers from On30 Railroading which has 4000 members.
Asking for myself and a friend. We are considering jumping from HO to On30.
Have there been any serious issues with the Heisler or Centercab? I know the earlier Climax and Shay had gear issues. I don't want to start into a new scale and step into #2 with motive power.
Thanks ...
How does one determine the younger or older age of there On30 locos?
I have several On30 locos that are still brand new in their boxes,...that I bought a number of years ago when a well known hobby shop was going out of business. I had been thinking of taking them to Thailand, but instead they have just set in their new boxes. I am thinking of selling them now as I am just going to concentrate on my HO layout.
Does Bachmann still supply replacement gears for these? I was thinking I should get some for the eventual new buyer/owner of these locos??
I have these suspect ones: (I would like to know which ones are really suspect?)
1) Rail Truck #29160, Pocahontas Lumber Co
2) Two-truck Shay # 25660, Pocahontas Lumber Co
3) Baldwin 2-8-0 #25962, Colorado Mining Co
4) articulated 2-6-6-2, unlettered
I don't do much FB at all,...just too confusing at times (they bounce you all around from place to place, etc).
Would that be a good place to sell them??
