We examine Bachmann's narrow gauge mallet and find uses for the loco other than On30 at:

The Mallet comes close to the plans of this 1906 Great Northern 2-6-6-2 in HO scale. Just needs new domes, cab fittings and the tender narrowed.

We also look at in other scales.

Thank you if you visit

Bachmann 2-6-6-2

Yes, I was looking at a possible conversion to HO. Looks like it would work. Maybe someone will come out with a conversion kit, or Bachmann will make an HO version.

I did pick up the new Mantua 2-6-6-2 with tender. Nice loco. Out of the box it ran a little tight but loosened up. Valve gear is a little "heavy" looking compaired to the Bachmann loco. Maybe a little paint and weathering would take care of that.
