Good news Vic. Im really excited about these. I cant wait to get some and cant wait to see what you build.
Hi Victor and Shawn:
Victor, the Hermann cartoonist was born here in Ottawa. I think that the cartoonist has now passed on.
Shawn, my disappointment is that Bachmann has produced the Little Hauler locomotive and tender molds which are extremely close to the never produced 1984 Delton 2-4-0 loco.
This loco might possibly have been produced by HLW .
Pg 15 of 38 , from Dave Fletcher’s history of Delton trains:

So these new molds from Bachmann may now discourage HLW from ever producing such a loco which requires the new tooling for the short tender mold. But yet Bachmann did not produce at least an adult non spectrum model similar to the Indy locomotive.
So as a fan of the Delton and HLW product, the industry may now be left with only a Bachmann child’s toy version of this locomotive.
I understand that this Bachmann loco is an inexpensive source of a motor block for many hobbyists. But I am interested in buying a complete locomotive, not a motor block.
However, this is competitive commerce.
I have NO personal inside information as to the intentions of HLW.
This is just my personal observations and logic that two mfgs. are not likely to produce two identical molds of one locomotive for this small marketplace.
The pg 16 of 38 , 0-4-2T locomotive, is my favourite Delton locomotive which was never produced.

Many times I have posted my request on the Bachmann website for this 0-4-2T locomotive but there does not appear to be any interest by Bachmann in producing such a locomotive. Combining molds from the Bachmann Indy and Porter could be used to produce the 0-4-2T locomotive.
After Bachmann produced some extremely weird ( or non American locomotives) , they finally responded with the K-27 and now the C-19.
But now, for which I will now receive much criticism from fellow posters, the retail pricing has surged far ahead of what the 4-4-0 was offerred at.
The appropriate time to have tooled the molds for the K-27 and the C-19 was way back when the 4-4-0 loco was tooled or when the non American locomotives were tooled. .
The Bachmann C-19 will no doubt be a wonderful model
Today’s retail market costs are too high for my personal tastes

For some reason the text has become right margin aligned as I hit some key by error.
Sorry about this margin error…
