Ok Bachmann...you have me intrigued.

We have a re-release of the DD40Xs!!

Cool...44tonners again.

Jackson & Sharp Excursion Cars?? Available NOW!! Can't wait for pics, or to see where to place my order!!

HOLD ON....45 tonners?!?!?!? Is this true? Have we released the side rod 45 tonner in HO scale? This is the top industrial model on my list!! I will have to get about 15 of these!

Please comment all..Keep it all here. I can't wait for Friday!

Hello All-

I have 2 new Bachmann 70t's, and each one was bought from a different store. One of them runs nice, and makes no noise. The 2nd one makes a Athearn-type noise. I took the shell off, and it makes no noise. I found out that if the shell is at a certain point on the chassis, it doesn't make the noise. Is this rattling? How can I fix it? No matter how tight the shell is, or how loose it is, it still makes the noise. Maybe the Bachmann department has some advise.

I just looked on Walthers's web site, and saw that the release date for the Excursion Cars has been pushed back from May 31, 2007 to the beginning of 2009! Is there a tooling problem that pushed it so far back, lack of interiest?

Any updates? Pre-production photos? What's the prototype? Who can I contact about finding more info?
