RE: The Baby J

That engine reminds me of the fireless switcher at the RR museum of Pennsylvania. Here's a picture of it. Feel free to use the picture for textures if you make that engine as well. The Baby J – image 39

Back in the day, they must have had the design philosphy of "if it moves, streamline it, If it doesn't move, streamline it anyway".Design for design sake, damn the functionality!Frank MusickMoving America into the 19th Century!

RE: The Baby J

While the Bachmann one runs well, I'd wait a bit to buy a J until Broadway Limited Imports comes out with theirs. It'll be DCC ready, have sounds (I can't wait to hear that whistle!) and I suspect will be better modeled than the Bachmann one is.

RE: The Baby J

One slight problem with the Broadway Limited model- the price tag!

Ok ok ok, the J is a 4-8-4 but unless the drivers are the same size as the trailing trucks it'll be a 4-4-4. And it ain't called a "Baby J" for nothing./JonatanSteam rules!
