steam engine

I'm looking for a steam loco. Do micro-train built some? I have some Marklin product but i'm interestig to get micro-train coupler. (the layout i'm bulding is in the 1930 era)

Charles,
MTL produced the Mogul years ago and on occasion you will find one on Ebay, but no steam currently from MTL. AZL has the GS3 and 4 in freight, the cab forward, and hopefully soon the Challenger. All are brass and expensive.

Marklin makes a barely adequate version of the Pacific and Mikado, but both shells look alike. There is something in the wings we hope, but not any time soon.

Charles, you can always switch out the couplers.

There is also the Casey Jones 10 wheeler that was produced by Marklin. It would fit this era. But I do not think you will find one on a hobby shop shelf but maybe on ePray.

Marklin was also doing a Mogul in orange and the Diamond Special I guess they called it was basically the Casey Jones, but the loco was made from zinc pressure casting and not brass

Regretably this particular loco sold on ebay for over $450 not to long ago. Cheers, Jim CCRR

There seems to be 3 sets marklin made with a similar loco & car set
1 in D&RGW & 2 in Illinois Central. A separate set of the 4 cars comes up on epray. Locos are scarce.
