Title: HO 3-light signal, AA39115
Post by: wjstix on July 13, 2020, 06:32:33 PM
Hi, I recently ordered this from Walthers. Both their website and the 2020 Bachmann catalog says this is a three-pack of signals...but what I received only has one signal?  ???

I think your beef might be with Walthers. The Bachmann online store lists them as singles.

Did you misinterpret Three-Color Lighted Block Signal to mean three separate signals instead of three lights on the signal?

Walthers lists them as a package of 3. Good luck with that ::).

It looks like Walthers misinterpreted it. I couldn't find it in Bachmann's on-line catalog.

The Bachmann 2020 print catalogue shows it as a three-pack of signals. The Bachmann website appears to have the correct information at this point.

Even my receipt slip that came with the Walthers order says "BAC 160-39115  3 Color Lighted Sig 3pk".

I'd be contacting Walthers then.

The entry in the 2020 Bachmann catalog clearly states 3/pack. If you're only getting one i'd question it, especially considering the exquisitely detailed Atlas tri light signals are listed in their catalog for $25.95.  The Bachmann signals have nowhere near the detail of the Atlas ones, but at 3 for $35.00 they'd be worth investing in.

Yes, compared to other working signals, 3 for $35 (actually a little less since I'm a Walthers "Yardmaster") made them worth trying.

I did contact Walthers, they said that they contacted Bachmann who confirmed it was only one signal, and that they (Walthers) understood how I could be "confused", and could return it for a refund.

I replied pointing out I didn't appear to be the one who was "confused". It would have been nice for them to at least acknowledge the error on their part.
