Anykone out here have the authority or knowledge to let us know when the K- 27 will be shipped ??? Mine has been ordered for two weeks but nobody knew when the shipment day would be...sure would be nice to have an idea ?
Well, since this engine has been talked about (and not talked about) for several years, TWO WEEKS is not a long time to wait.
Until you get hard and fast word, ANTICIPATE.
And, Thank-You for choosing Bachmann.
Well Dave since the last time I was at your house with my son and all smoking cigars in Kirkland, we were talking about the engine, and that was several years ago.....good talking to you here.......!! It's a long ways from Huntington Beach down in Surf City. When you gonna get yours..........if not already ??
Soon.
Hopefully before you!
Just so's I can harrass ya!
You gonna trash it?
I can see it now.
Cab hanging off, holes in smokebox (with flickering lights inside), handrails hanging, laundry on the tender.
Dear Mackers,
So, do you know Huntingdon Beach?
I used to swim there many moons ago when I had a body the chicks leered at instead of laughing at now.
Best Wishes,
Jack
Yep, I know Hunt. Beach, born and raised here in Orange County and been in my house here for 46 years and gonna stay..........my webb page is: 4LargeScale.com and then click on my name (Mac McCalla) to find out more........good talking to you. Mac

Do you know the total length of the piece ?

No, I don't have the engine yet and don't know of anyone that does, they are supposedly "on the water now", so I don't know the exact dimentions. Mac
If 1:20.3 reduction from the prototype, beam-to-beam should be about 33".
If 1:20.3 reduction from the prototype, beam-to-beam should be about 33".
Considering the overall scale length, that would sound on the mark.
I ordered two the other day, and do expect a lengthy wait for them.
Patience, however, is a virgin.
Dave;
Does anyone have a sound module for these puppies yet for the rather unique sound these engines had.

Phoenix lists one, and I have a Sierra in my K-27.
I like it.
Mac ...
After the awesome job you did on my Bachmann 2-8-0, maybe after you've had one to beat to death, I can talk you into being gentle to mine ....
Rich ....
Mine's going to sound suspiciously like a K-36, I think ... and hopefully with a slightly raspier whistle...
All:
Let me brag on Mac a bit....

Matt. I don't see a problem with that, you flatter me but that's ok, it's good for the ego.........Whenever I get my K- 27 and figure out how dirty to make it, I'll take yours under my wing and make it real..........how's that ?? Mac
