I heard this rumor at the SW garden Railroad show last October in Pomona, CA. Now don't hold me to this but the next engine is going to be..............are you ready?  An UPGRADE of the CLIMAX!

This is pretty interesting.  I see one photo on Bachmann's opening web page....anyone have more photos posted anywhere??

Who has these at good prices now?  I've just begun to look, but I can tell I need one.

I bought mine at Trainworld. They were around $30.

I just received my new log skidder. As I look at it closely, I think Bachmann might be playing the scale game on this one. It is listed as 1:20.3 but it looks small to me. Is that why it came in a box marked Big Hauler? I will have to dig out my Ozark Miniatures Dolbeer engine, which is 1:22.5 scale, to compare. Does anyone else think it is small for 1:20.3?

In any case the skidder is well detailed and I like it.
