They have covered about all of the other logging locos so the Forney would be the natural last item to add to the list. I can understand your point but I believe there is a market out there just waiting to see the Forney arrive. I know of a few close people that would just at the opportunity.

When is Bachmann going to produce an HO scale Forney?

  Is it possible to use the powered turntable made by Bachmann and add expansion sheds so that you can have a powered turntable for the Tidmouth Shed? They look similar in layout but I don't know if the molding is compatible. Would be a nice thought.

Ok. So if we have some say in it I vote for the following:

Duck
Hiro
Murdock
Diesel 10
Belle
Flynn


Sorry, I had to put 6. I would like to see all of them but those are my votes. 

  I've been hearing a lot of discussion that Mattel is taking over the Thomas the Tank Train products. Can anyone tell me the full truth and how it will affect the production of Thomas and his friends at Bachmann?

I have a new 80 Ton Three Truck Shay w/Steel Cab #84705. This is the one that came with DCC and Sound. The sounds are wonderful but the running is terrible for a new locomotive. It shimmies in time with the drive. I have two other Shays from a few years back and they run very smoothly. I can't figure out what's causing this side to side shimmy. Have others experienced this motion? Any ideas? It's very annoying to watch.

When are we going to see it? I noticed that Walthers is taking advance reservations. When will it hit the stores?

I hear rumor of a new line of HO Shay Locomotives but I've seen nothing yet in any literature nor on your website. The cat number of one of them appears to be 84705. What can you tell me about this line? Thanks.
