Shallow stocks on On30 trains this Christmas

On30 is a "shorthand" for O scale trains that run on HO gauge track. Bachmann makes a bunch of nice ones.

Shallow stocks on On30 trains this Christmas

Post by paulrace »

Just finished updating the On30 pages for my BigTrainStore.com and BigChristmasTrains.com . Pretty scary. As far as I can tell, Bachmann introduced ONE new On30 train set this year. And all the old ones are off the shelves, including the Christmas train sets that used to bring in some good revenue for them.

Passenger cars are also MIA.

Locomotives are another, odd story. About fifteen different kinds are still available new from Amazon, but as far as I can tell, there are very few of each kind in stock. NO consolidations, which is a shame. If you're thinking of a new On30 locomotive for Christmas, and you want any kind of a choice, get your order in now.

Here's the On30 home page from the Big Train Store. It's a little embarrassing how little there is on some of those pages.

But the locomotive page has a lot of variety, even if it doesn't have a lot of depth. :-)

Here's one I didn't list because I believe the stock is very low:
