Hi Bachmann,

do you have any more N scale sets coming in the near future? I placed an order last week from my local hobby store in the UK for the Explorer set to be told it's been discontinued?

Do you know why?


Thanks,


Leon

I've just been reading my warranty card, and other documents I received with my Empire Builder set. Why does the Lifetime warranty not cover the UK?

I understand there is a UK Bachmann distributor here so would they be the ones to contact for warranty issues?

I feel a little disappointed it doesn't cover anywhere outside the US and Canada?

Would you be able to let me know who I'd need to get in touch with when I do have a problem.


Thank you.


Leon

As my title says


Does it echo the noise of the trains when its running on the track, and is it worth putting some kind of fabric or sponge in the bottom of the plastic "gravel" bed?

I know it might sound daft, but I'd like a quite layout...


Thanks guys.

Leon

Hello guys!


I've just ordered a Empire Builder set and should arrive by Saturday.

I've scaled down due to space so this will be my base set I guess...


the questions I have are;

Is the basic 24" width of the curve tracks the smallest Bachmann offer I'd like to make a more shallow curve so the train isn't cornering sharply...

Does anyone have a close up image of the locomotive, can the cab be lighted. and is the front lamp of the locomotive an LED?

with the EZ track, What would I need to do a nice figure of 8 layout with the current track provided, with a larger oval on the outside of it?

Any one else bought this set with some good photos of it on your layout you'd like to share?

I feel like a kid again ordering a new set! I had stopped with my hobby since going to uni but I'd like to get back into one of my favourite hobbies ready for winter when its dark and rainy in the evenings

I've read good and bad reviews on the locomotive supplied but it looks great and I have never had a problem with any previous Bachmann product.


I'll post some photos up when I get the set on Saturday hopefully!


Many thanks for your help.


Leon

Has anybody got any good reviews abut this set? is there any thing I should look out for and handy tips?


its been a while since i've bought anything bachmann but this is the 1st time i've bought a Spectrum set, so I thought I'd start this hobby again since i have some spare cash!

thanks

Leon

Just been looking at these passenger cars, any one put lights in them?
