Seems to me fellas that perhaps Bmanns intention with Indy may have been misunderstood!
Especially with the release of their new V tip cars. The key word is “Industrial” locomotive. Whish to me would seem to bring to mind a string of 4 wheel cars or cars on the smallish side, or 1 larger car perhaps two in an industrial setting.
I don;t see her being a replacement for the 4-6-0 in train sets, unless they means with the side dump and tipper cars.
I don’t think they were ever intended for passenger service or high power drags. We got Shays and Connies for that!
After all, no one expects an 0-6-0 Tank to be used as passenger power either! I think with a bit of tweaking Indy could be made into a nice little teakettle, but keep her in perspective! hehehe
I think my third Shay will wrap up my motive power purchases for a while personally, but a bashable engine for the right price, one can never tell!!
