Has anyone considered a Bachmann On30 two truck Shay? They work out to about a forty ton Shay, look and run very well, and can be re-gauged to either Sn3 or S standard gauge. They look pretty good as well. I have one of each, re-gauged by Terry Putt of Rex Trains. Same for the Bachmann Porter. Lee McCarty In a message dated 5/8/2012 10:15:53 P.M.

Perhaps Wiseman has resurrected some of these kits and perhaps they will meet the need. EdL.
