Title: 0n30 2-6-6-2 question
Post by: El Loco on October 14, 2009, 06:38:29 PM
Mr.Bach-man
In regards to the up and coming 2-6-6-2 the release date is in the fall  of ?When is the expected arrival? Or do you have the information to release publicly? Could you possibly come up with a sound sample on line by chance? This would be a great option for all future releases as well.
Thank you Sir!

Dear Loco,
We have a sound sample here at the TCA show, and it's splendid!  They should arrive in the next few weeks.
Have fun!

Hey Mr. Bach-man,
Will you be bringing the 2-6-6-2 to the iHobby show next weekend? Oh, and Thomas, too? My youngest would like to see it, and I could use a helping hand.  :D (although he is a LOT heavier a year later  :o )

Mr Bach-man,
It was nice to see you again this year. Thanks for your advice to take my kids right over to the Thomas ride. We got on before the big lines. Unfortunately, we didn't get back to your booth for another couple of hours, and you were gone. As were my kids (meltdown city).  I've posted a video of your wonderful new 2-6-6-2 for everyone to enjoy.

Thanks again!
