Video: Bachmann On2 1/2 Porter 0-4-0T
Seriously cute!
Does that run on HO standard gauge track ?
Nice little Bachmann engine. Sounds seem abit anemic though
Love Porters, and this one is no exception, but when will they make them in HO gauge? ;-(
it looks and runs good. The bell is a little loud compared to the whistle.
Hi Garret,
Yes, On2 1/2 models (O scale 2 1/2 foot gauge, also referred to as On30) will run on standard HO gauge track.
Thanks for watching.

i like the engine, wish they come out with one ho
I bought a 0-4-2T and have found that it is very picky at most of my turnouts, losing power pick up. I have a feeling that is because the engine is quite light. I will have to add more weight to it. Other that the pick up problem, the engine runs beautifully everywhere else on my layout and the sound is excellent.
It looks and sounds great and I will be getting one of each but I wish you guys would fall into line and call them On30 like most others including manufacturers
Yes I agree an HO model would be very much welcome! HO21/2 is a wide open market. I think Bachmann could make some money with an HO narrow gauge line of products.
Would like to see the engine pushing or pulling cars in the video and with an engineer and fireman in the cab.
The exahust sound sound toy like commpared to the other sounds.
can you tell me in which issue I may find the article about the layout (mining operation) which was crafted using on30 scale equipment (Bachmann)
