Please Make This Loco

I imagine it would be a good candidate for Bachmann in On30.

If it was done in O, I would buy one for sure, it would be a nice mate for my Shay.

PS3 would easily fit.

If Lionel produced one, I'd be interested.

I am in for an O scale version.  Also we need a Forney locomotive.  I am in for any small O scale steam with command control.

I'd definitely like to have one of those and I don't really care who makes it.  It would be a really nice locomotive to have.  We can keep our fingers crossed.

Have you by any chance sent a copy of that picture to Lionel and MTH?  Maybe if they saw it, it would get them to thinking about it.

Oh, boy...I have asked for this loco in previous posts on here.  Somebody asked for

this in O scale two rail brass..it HAS been made in that and I've seen it on eBay, and in at least two versions of HO brass.   It looks like too much of a job to convert a brass two rail one to three rail.  I would love to see Bachmann/Williams make it without the never fail to fail electronics, but I would certainly be interested in anybody's.  (I am also repeating myself to say I would like to see all the small logging locos Bachmann makes made in 3 rail, and On3...this last so you wouldn't have to convert them all)

I drove around that Little River Logging Co. location in Tennessee.  This railroad

logged the Smokies and Smoky Mtn. National Park still has some evidence of it, including that tunnel you drive through on the way up to Cade's Cove.  That huge mill complex location is now just vacant farmland with a few scattered houses,

just west of a small dam on the river.

There was a Shay stored in a small musum across the river when I was there

several years ago.

Several years ago 3rd Rail made a small articulated logging engine, a 2-6-6-2 rather than a 2-4-4-2 like the one in the picture. It was only available with conventional operation, as the tender was too small for a sound board and speaker.

As I remember, the 3rd Rail locomotive was known a the "Samson".

I have spoken to J. Don at the LCCA convention in Denver about this loco; maybe seeing a picture here will be added impetus for a Lionel Legacy version.
