Just arrived Hartland Locomotive Western & Atlantic "General" 4-4-0....

"HONGZ" stands for HO scale, N scale, G scale, and Z scale.

Post your non-O scale stuff here!

I have wanted a Hartland locomotive for years but they are so elusive...I had started to wonder if they actually made trains. Finally I was able to place a pre-order for the General and it was well worth the wait. Just some quick lid off photos for now. I am drawn to the fact that these are made in the USA from Kalamazoo tooling bashed with some Delton parts. As a kid I always wanted one of those colorful Kalamazoo sets but my parents would never let me have one! With that said why doesn't Hartland offer the decorated W&A cars and perhaps some reissues of the Kalamazoo coaches?

Great looking engine and tender Michael.......I can see how excited you would have been as a kid getting one of these beauties.

Sorry it has taken as long as it has, but now you can really enjoy and appreciate it.

Happy running from Peter (Buco tragic) on the fabulous Gold Coast in sunny Queensland, Australia.

I believe HLW also has a similar model of the Jupiter.

Will you be kind enough to share a video of this engine operating?

G Gauge ... LGB compatible other than LGB is narrow gauge. I will post a video as soon as I have a layout up of G. I had some LGB that was packed away. I wanted to grab this loco while it was a new release as Hartland must make very small runs of their product.

Much of LGB 750mm and 1000mm gauge is 1:22.5. If the General is that scale, it is a fairly large model. It certainly looks like a nicely detailed engine!
