I didn't say that I was opposed to On30. I just found that the limitations didn't suit my tastes.
Your work is great but, when you have to scratchbuild that third boxcar it will start gathering cobwebs.
The Bachmann Mogul isn't typical of the 1880-1890's, if you try to backdate it to it's original configuration it doesn't look right for that time period, no wagon top boiler. It was technologically ahead of it's time with the boiler through the cab. A typical narrow gauge 4-4-0 will look awful in On30. Besides up-gauged locomotives usually don't run as well as they did in their original state.
