who makes the cheapest loco for HO scale? would prefer a FTA B&O but others are ok. it just needs to be able to pull 3-5 50’ cars.
Try the Walthers Trainline series, they’re cheap but work pretty well. For an FT, you might find one in an Athearn blue-box kit, or look on ebay.
In fact, here’s a Bachmann FT-A in B&O paint for six bucks…[:D]
Ray out.
thankyou man, its going to be my cleaning train.
You need something that’s 16 oz or better, dual flywheels. Some of the P1K’s also have merit.
Trainworld has a bunch of different locos in the $19-29 range–some quite good engeines. Careful though. I picted up a switcher for $29 and not it is my favorite loco.
trainworld rocks, still bidding on the first train but I think im probably going to lose.
HAHAHA the loco on Ebay claims to have 9 wheel drive!!![(-D][(-D][(-D]
yea noticed that, thinking its a typo because under it it has the stats for the train.
i got my BN SW7 for $10 and it works like a charm
