I am right now starting a small, shelf-type On30 layout and just got my first engine and car a few days ago. Man, do I love them! it´s a Bachmann Forney, which was at sale at Micromark´s for just $ 99,95 (DCC, no sound), and a caboose, I bought at a train show for about $ 10. The loco has a wealth of detail, including a choice of 3 different headlights and a cinder trap for the smoke stack. It´s a smooth runner, right from the beginning. The gearbox was a bit noisy at first, but after an hour´s running in, the noise is gone. Bachmann has a nice selection of On30 locos and the can be had at prices way below MSRP. None of them has a real prototype though, which is no issue for me, as there has been no 2 1/2 ft. gauge railroad, either. Aside from BLI, who had a D&RGW C-16 on sale some time ago, Bachmann seems to be the only source for On30 locos. I am not aware that there are any brass models around.
