So, what happened to the 2-8-2?

[rogertra]

Subject line say's it all Mr. B.  The 2-8-2 seems to have slipped from the radar.

The only new release I was looking forward to.

Well they had already made the announcement, so there was no need to announce it again.

Why isn't it in the publicity then?

You'd think they wouldn't pass that up.

That is because they announced the USRA 2-8-2 at the NMRA show LAST YEAR. And if I am correct it is also listed in the 2015 Bachmann catalog. In other words, it has been common knowledge to everyone. The models just haven't released yet.

Dear All,
There are Mikado samples on display and running at the show.
Have fun!

Only photos I've seen are pre-production models.  I was hoping for photos of production models.

Roger;
Have you looked in "Model Railroader" or "RMC"  (I forget which one...) this month?  Dey's dere!  In full living (grey) colour.

Or you could check out the Bachmann Trains Facebook page to see a video of one of the sound value versions running and there is another thread on the forums here with pictures of one of the painted production samples and a picture of the Southern 4501 version at the NMRA show this weekend on the Bachmann facebook page.

Not yet but I'd have expected to see photos of production models on this site.

Don't subscribe to the Bachmann Facebook page but as I said in another post, I expected to see photos here.

You don't need a facebook, or a subscription to see Bachmann's posts on Facebook, just an FYI

There is a lot of exclusive content on manufacturers' Facebook pages that aren't posted any where else.

Yeah. I thought that was common knowledge. I have been watching it since it has been up and not logged into FB at the time.

I am however eagerly anticipating this Bachmann USRA Mikado release for the amount of kitbashing opportunities I have planned in the near future. So count me in. I still buy the 2-6-6-2's and 2-10-2's regularly for projects.

I was one of those folks unaware you could look at Facebook without an account.  Was happy to watch the USRA Mike video!

I have collected some brass detail parts, and am joyfully anticipating superdetail work on this loco.  Hopefully we'll see some Mikes by the big October train shows. If I manage to get one, I will, of course, be posting photos when I disassemble and trick out the Mike.

Hangin' in there!

They should arrive in our warehouse within the month.
