I saw on Ken Patterson's youtube video that Bachmann announced an On30 0-6-0 at the Amhurst show, but I can't find anymore information. Does anyone have any photos or info?
Thanks.

Bachmann did have an On30 0-6-0 steam engine model on display at the Amherst show. A very nice-looking engine. I plan to buy one.

I have seen a good many photos of the new locomotive on various Facebook sites, but not elsewhere.
From Bachmann’s Facebook post.

What's so new here ?
They took old 2-6-0 loco removed pilot wheel ,changed pilot and tender ,moved headlite and made it DCC.
Interesting, but I'll pass. Outside of a modified 2-6-0, looks like they are using the 4-4-0's tender.

Is that so different from what the real railroads did?
In fact, it is exactly what some real RRs did (less the DCC).
Hmm. I didn't realize it wasn't a 2-6-0 at first when I saw this elsewhere.
Nice looking locomotive. I have no use for one as it doesn't match my layout's concept, but I think they might do well with making shorter locomotives than in the past.
This model appears on the front cover of the new catalog!
Seems an odd choice to me. To me it looks like new tooling as it has different proportions than the 2-6-0. I too will pass on it.
