I just got back from the iHobby show. Lots of great stuff. I met the Bach Man finally, and he is a great guy who is very enthusiastic for our hobby. He showed the new models to me, and they even had a TWEETSIE painted 4-6-0 (Sorry, no pictures as I had my 3 little ones with me). The outside frame 4-4-0 is considerably bigger than the previous 4-4-0. That and the railcar look pretty good. I also saw the new underframes. I can hardly wait to change out my old ones.
I also had the opportunity to try out the new Dynamis DCC system. I can't tell you how easy it was to work, and with one hand! Thanks Mr. Bach Man for holding my youngest while I tried out the Dynamis. I know he appreciated watching Thomas go around your layout. Very soon here I will have both my On30 and HO Thomas up and running on the same layout.

Thanks, I wish I could have made it but live in Washington. Bachmann can we get a picture of the painted 4-6-0?
Dear Mark,
Your kids are great! It was good meeting you, and a Thomas layout is an excellent idea.
Frisco, I did take some pictures of the ten wheeler, and I'll post them next week.
Have fun!

Thanks, I can't wait! ;D
Okay, not trying to be pushy but it has been a week and we are still waiting. I have been checking every day since I saw you post that and still nothing. Please!!! :) :) :)
Frisco-
Go join the Yahoo Group called "Tweetsie".
In the photos folder, there are some shots of ET&WNC #11 boiler and tender that were at the Narrow Gauge Convention in Portland last month.
