ISO Logging Locomotives of the "Tank" Variety

[Thad09]

So, as the title shows, I'm looking for some SG logging locomotives.

Mainly, I am looking for USA SG 2-6-2T, 2-8-2T, or 2-6-6-2T types and the alike. I already have a good library of geared locomotives (Shay/Heisler/Climax), as well as conventional rod locos (2-6-0, 2-8-0, etc.) and short line diesels that I can easily reskin/kitbash if I were wanting to.

The only other logging loco I could think of that would work is Trainz Forge's 2-4-4-2 Skookum model as well as their 2-6-6-2 Sierra model. I already have those in my library, but, I would like some heavier tanks instead of the B&O 0-4-0T "Docksider" and the old Backshops(?) 0-6-0T's that were released for a while but seem to have become vaporware.

Are there any heavy tank locos out there or any modeler's interest in this? I know this is rather a niche area of modeling. Would be nice to see some additional industrial/logging tanks added to the game.

Thanks for the idea.

Well, I can't really help, I'd love to find some like that as well. Larger "industrial" tanks are a challenge to find, although it might be possible to mod/put some trucks on the Backshops 0-6-0T, the license forbids it.

You can do that for your own use. Distribution isn't allowed.

John, that's usually the case, but...
"MODELS CANNOT BE reskinned, reengineered or rehosted without explicit permission from The Backshops." is what is in the config for the "ALCO 0-6-0T Blank v2" (which was the fastest one to grab in my CM). That's a bit stricter than I usually see... I'm inclined to see that as a hard "no" on something like that.
That's a bit more advanced project than I'm ready for right now though, so I'll back burner it either way.

We'll just say "What happens on MY pc, stays on MY pc.

I mean, I won't say "no" to directions on how to do that... you know for a hypothetical kitbash... just to see if was feasible...
