I see here you are re-running the 4-4-0 old timer:

It has your new couplers so must be some re-tooling. I wonder if the locomotive chassis is updated at all?

Chris333,

Are you referring to the blue tender and back of a loco on the left? That would be cool!

Thanks,
Charles

Yes that is it. It has Bachmann's new couplers on it and that is a new paint job. I wonder what other improvements?

Can we see more.

Dear Chris,
I'll ask about any mechanical changes.
Have fun!

I saw these in Hartford. The paint is much improved over previous runs... its on par with the Atlas/Micro Ace Mogul. The tender uses the same pickup as the previous run, so don't expect much. I was not able to see the motor, but I imagine it is the newer can they have been using on everything.

I have a question. Is this new run of "4-4-0's receiving new road names or the usual road names "the ones that Bachmann has already used" ? Below is a list of the previous run of the Bachmann 4-4-0's that I have acquired over the years all have been lettered for the following railroads.

Any chance Bachmann will paint one of these up for the Virginia and Truckee?

Reno or Inyo would probably sell the best.
