Hi

Many thanks

Hi,
Sorry but they are not. The ones for $50 are all version 5 Anniversary chassis 81097 would be the chassis for Item number 81097 D&RG Anniversary 4-6-0 with metal Stephenson valve gear and the woodburner chassis with the long pilot(cowcatcher). The 30 dollar ones are also version 5, but have the plastic drivers. The numbers CH 80197 stand for in this case the chassis for Item number 81097. In other cases the CH number is the chassis for a specific set number.

These chassis are a great buy at these prices!!

Hi Bill, thanks for the info. Yes I suspected that they might be series 5 as I expect that Bachmann will be shedding these as the new gearbox version is now the current one.
But, as you say, they are good value. We in UK have to factor in the shipping and 20% import duries on top of the cost (item+shipping) though.
