Title: New Kits as Companions to Bachmann 2-Bay Hoppers.
Post by: Lee Carlson on February 16, 2007, 12:27:18 PM
BTS now has kits for EBT 3-Bay hoppers (low side and high side)
to go along with the Bachmann 2-Bay cars.   :D

But who will be able to afford a fleet of hoppers, the word is they will sell for $50 a pop.

Try 1:20.3 scale, where the Bachmann 2-bay hoppers are going
for the street price of around $90.00 a pop!

How about a model of this one, no. 1074, 4-bay....the only remaining one....

Lee,

       I was reluctant to post this info before since it has to do with another manufacturer's product release,  but after reading your post,  I feel this is something that can be shared.
        Deerfield River Laser,  out of West Springfield,  Mass.  is also doing an EBT caboose kit as is BTS.   According to the owner,  he is very hopeful to have the kit available at the Kimberton, Pa Narrow Gauge Model meet in May of this year.

Dear All,
Nice!
I'm in for both the BTS and Deerfield cars. They'll both make the hobby richer!
Have fun!
