Dear Daniel,
Good suggestions, I'll pass them along. As for telling you what we're working on- Nope, my lips are sealed!
Have fun!

Gee - Dan forgot the C&S, SPNG, EBT and, oh yes, the White Pass and Yukon.

I know people who are very happy to have the pulpwood car and long caboose that's on it's way.  Good things can't be rushed.

My advice to those who can't wait for specific road names is to use the old time "Air Brush and Decal" trick.

Dear Bachmann,
we as customers should know whether we will get this program in the absence of models from Bachmann, or whether we need to do this yourself.

It's all about marking variants, not to Compline new models.

There were begun several railroad companies, whose vehicle program is not yet complete. Another new feature is now also the ET & NWC happened. Where are the cars of the ET & NWC ?

Do you understand me?

Bachmann never comments on future releases, whether they are new models, or new paint schemes on older releases.  They are better than the CIA at keeping secrets.

The best solution is to do your own lettering with decals or dry transfers.  There are some decal makers on Ebay who are doing some very creative things specifically for On30.  And there's nothing like a new coat of paint, some decals, a layer of dullcote and some weathering to get rid of the "plastic toy train" shine.
