The Bachmann On30 catalog has dwindled considerably with the collapse of the On30 bubble.
A locomotive that always flew under the radar was their little freelance 2-4-4-2 Mallet. Probably one of Bachmann's best efforts. A perfect 55n3 loco, actually a little cramped for O-scale.

There are two similar prototypes.
A Baldwin narrow gauge version of the Little River 2-4-4-2.
