Title: Bachmann Heavy Mountain Request
Post by: Pacific Northern on November 21, 2012, 03:32:21 PM
Question for Mr. Bachmann

Will the Bachmann Spectrum Heavy Mountain locomotive be re-released.

I have one of these and a Spectrum Light Mountain as well, the Spectrum Heavy Mountain is just a bute, It is a great puller and its running characteristics are excellent with both low and high speeds.

There certainly is a shortage of Heavy Mountains locomotives at present. BLI has quite a few, but they are Pennsy models, MTH has some, but I am put off, like so many others with their operating system.

Please consider re-releasing the Spectrum Heavy Mountains, fantastic locomotives.

If you did in fact, eveer decided to go into production, might you consider the New Haven R-1 or R-3 as a modelling prototype; they are a really great-looking locomotive.
