I'm befuzzled! What scale humans are appropriate as passengers in the Jackson-Sharp cars?  They're sold as appropriate for the 1.20.3 engines but arrive in Big Hauler boxes.

For a beginner:  What's the difference between "Bachmann Big Haulers" and "Spectrum"?

Ah!  Summer in the south when tropical storms bloom and the city passes out sand bags to protect houses and businesses!  When the Bachmann boys put on rubber boots to try underwater trains.  😱

Train Dude?  No overcoat, probably no snowplow for one of the engines?

What does it take to melt a Bachmann train?  Today it was 90 degrees.  There's a tropical storm on the map, and Christmas is exactly 4 months away.  Santa will probably be wearing shorts this year and I want him to bring me a train.

You might try Dallee.com. I haven't tried the merchandise but the ads look promising.

Terry the two of us have the same parts falling off.  It's never the right time to get old but it's always the right time for trains.  Take some time and RIDE trains.  AMTRAK is good about accommodating oxygen paraphernalia and the handicapped bedroom has Windows on both sides of the car.

Beware the Ides of August!  The "Bachmann August 2016 Newsletter" didn't list the new 2-6-0.

Will the ON30 2-6-0 Tsunami sound board Bachmann Part #44957 work appropriately with the new "G" Scale 2-6-0's?

"Emma Nevada" was outshopped by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1881.  Named "Sidney Dillon" and numbered "2", the Mogul 2-6-0 was operated in the desert for 57 years by the Nevada Central Railroad.  Upon abandonment in 1938 the engine was purchased by Disney animator Ward Kimball.  It was restored and operated on a short section of track in his San Gabriel, California orange grove as part of his "Grizzly Flats Railroad".  Ward and his family donated the engine and rolling stock to the Orange Empire Railway Museum.  The engine is undergoing extensive restoration to return it to operating condition.  I've attached a photo of the "Emma Nevada" as  she appears today and you'll be able to see what a remarkable job Bachmann has done with the "G" Scale re-creation.  A historic engine being brought back to life by the Museum and faithfully modeled by Bachmann.
