hey barry,

if you don't ming, could you put some photos on your website? that would help me a ton. I'm a visual person and would like to see some of your items.

Thanks a Ton,
Shay

I was really hoping that someone would make whitepass diesel. I'd really need a diesel on my route for a road engine. The only problem with a GE96 is that there is only really one way it can look (like the F7s) so you would need two of them. Now, the Bombardier and the ALCo would be great. Another problem is that LGB's ALCo White PAss diesel is in 1:22 scale right? I'm just afraid it would look like a shrimp on my layout next to my shay which I just got two days ago. That thing is huge!

Mr Bachmann,

Hey, what happened to diesels? I know this topic was brouth up before, but, where are they?  I'd really like to see some sort of deisel locomotive from you. Your such good quality, and that shouldn't go to waste (not that steam locomotives are!) A few ideas:
-White Pass and Yukon GE90
-White Pass and Yukon Alco Loco
-Another GE45 Tonner?
-The Sumpter Valley/ Rio Grande Diesel (hey you and LGB can make the same locomotive)
-Any other ideas anyone? Please add on!

my shay came!! but one problem-- i need to get the horn/hook couplers o(LGB couplers) and I can't understand how. the instructions are way way way too confusing for me. no offense Bachmann

If anyone can help me, please do!
Shay

Well, St Aubin  Tains is supposed to get the shay (along with 3 bachmann ore cars) today. Now, the have to get from Woodstock Il. to Kansas City Ks. I thing I've chose to stick with the Tsunami sound since it's already in there and everyone says that the sounds have more of a variety that Phoenix.

Shay Ludlow

Funny. Well, If you could have another shay, what would you put in it? I'm oredeing mine from Staubintrains.com, which the engine without sound is like $530? I'm jjust guessing but around that. We ordered the shay with Tsunami sound.  for $630 and it's said to arrive in WOODSTOCK by the 10th  so I have like five days to pick. I need your guyses advice on this.

Shay

P.S.  I did use your video on youtube. That's weird. Thanks for putting it on there. I was kinda disapointed with the wistle on yours though. But thanks!

Mr. Bachmann,

I am laying track in the spring for my Yellow Hills Central Railway. Which DCC is best for the outside? I want to be able to use all of the sound options and have at least ten engines. Which one would you use??

Thanks a bundle!
Shay Ludlow

Well, I really like the Phoenix shay sounds, and I really don't like the tsunami sound. Wait, does the Tsunami sound have break squeal> that adds alot. I wish Tsunami had some way you could upgrade it. Sad..

Whatever,
Shay

Really? That's sad. I had the choice of getting the 3 truck shay with phoenix sound for $100 dollars more. Maybe I should have gone that way. because the whistle on the Tsunami sound ain't that impressive anyway. Sorry Bachmann.. Well I at least need it by Christmas. Hopefully by then I should have it. Do yoou think I should change it?

Shay

Dear Mr. Bachmann,

I have ordered a 3 truck shay with sound from St. Aubin Trains in Woodstock, Illinois around November 1st.  After a month of waiting, we called them and asked them what its status was. They said that they had not gotten it from you guys yet. Do you know where my shay is? I really need it! Any chance you can ship it to them any time soon? Thanks for your help 

Shay Ludlow

Okay,
I need to know what the definition of a road engine please. I mean, I know, but I don't know, ya know? --whatever. PLEASE HELP ME!

Mr. Bachmann,

I need to know the radius that the K27 can take. My railroad could use some strong motive power, but if the K27 can't make the turn, we may just have to stick to shays

Shay Ludlow

Dera Mr Bachmannor whoever wants to answer this,
I have just recently broken ground and am now laying track. And I need to know this: WHAT CONTROL METHOD IS BEST? DCC? RADIO? I don't know. Please answer my question and thanks

Thanks a ton for your help,
