My Polar Express

Here’s my new Polar Express.

It’s a ON30 Bachmann 4-4-0 locomotive, I just picked up today.

I know, I know, my layout is HO. But its a fantasy movie train anyways.

I still need to add the lettering, and some passengers.

In the spirit of the holidays…

Maybe that should read the “GI(ant) Polar Express”

Of course this is from someone who preferred this version of the movie:

Looking good, Michael.

Is this the beginning of a full blown conversion to ON30 scale?

I have a loop around the table top tree for my HO stuff to run.

But every year, I get a hankering for a On30 to run as some are “cute” {as in “hot” } locos and the cars would follow nicely!

Maybe SOMEDAY, Santa will put one under the tree!

I don’t have a favorite yet, but this one:

maybe inthe running!

{actually I’d like one of each}

Have fun with your new “toy”!!

Thanks Rich. No this will be my only ON30 train.

Oh ya I like that one too. You gotta get it man, get it now.

Michael,

Looks like fun to me. Sure, it’s outta scale, but aren’t holiday layouts supposed to be? [;)]

Does it really fit through your Moffat Tunnel? Then you must be ready for doublestacks – in HO of course.

Wow! I Believe!!

Ya it fits, but barely. Yes my doublestacks fit also.

I love it. I need one too[(-D]

Thanks for sharing Michael.

Have a Happy, Derek
