I have a query that I hope can be answered. Could a GE 50 tonner be modeled by putting a pair of 44 tonner trucks on a 45 tonner? I mean like one of these.

Is there a chance of Bachmann making the 50 ton Diesel In HO any time soon? Bachmann already hit it out of the park with your GE 45 tonners. The Whitcombs would make a nice addition to the HO diesel lineup, especially in standard guage (hint,hint). Since layouts and train lengths are getting smaller, this engine would do very nicely as well as fit in many different eras.

I love my 45 tonners and I want to post pics of the ones that I have.

I looked on the Bachmann parts catalog for replacement headlights for the 44 tonner and couldn't find them. I have  2 B & M 44 tonners, and I'm relettering them for my freelanced railroad (The Port Able Railway). The 44 tonners come with the headlight covers that show their road numbers, but I want the headlight covers that rest flush with the front end. Is there a way of ordering the flush headlight covers?
