now i see your selling the whole chassis for the 4-6-0 but theres no information listed as to witch version of engine nor to witch engine or set  they go with ..no info written around or near the picture ..no description ..

WHY??

how can you expect us the customers to buy these items with no description ??

i have been trying to buy the front 4 wheel truck for the 4-6-0 .but its never for sale ??

i just saw this EZ track listed in the new catalog and there some info missing
E-Z STREET™ TRACK
Item No. 00261 16" Diameter Curved Track (4/card)  MSRP $18.95
Item No. 00262 21" Diameter Curved Track (4/card) MSRP $20.95
Item No. 00263 2.5" Straight to Straight Track (4/card) MSRP $17.95
Item No. 00264 2.5" Straight to Curve Track (4/card)  MSRP $17.95
Item No. 00265 2.5" Curve to Curve Track (4/card) MSRP $17.95

how many do you need to make a full circle ?? 

this info is not listed on the bachmann website nor is it listed in the catalog
the vans are nice ..lets hope you come out with police cars and other type vehicles
but bachmann needs to go EASY on the price !!!!
now i would like to see this stuff in action .. and what a layout would look like too !!

the bachmann dvd is great ...but it lacks more info on the trains like track size and other products to go with it .(a small sample of your catalogs items for each scale would be great (a dvd catalog version).included in each train set) .. and MOST IMPORTANT is you need to add a FEATURE to your DVDs ( PLAY ALL ) for each scales set of chapters so you can play all the chapters one right after the other ..without having too doo it manualy  chapter by chapter...(but don't doo away with the viewing of each chapter by itself...) thats still a good thing...(reason why ?? ....i was playing the Bachmann dvd for some small children and i kept having to come back and
click on the next chapter ..every time ...ever 5 miniutes or so...  its a pain...)mostly ended up standing there waiting to switch to the next chapter each time

now about your catalog ... i sent in my $10 check for your catalog ...what i got in the mail was just a letter and what was left of the paper envelope the brochure?? or a verry small catalog  must have been put in it. ..and by the size it must have been too heavy and ripped thru the envelope ...some one tryed to tape it up  but it never got thru....  i have tryed to down load the catalog on line but my wireless service is too slow to get such a beg catalog... i only end up with the first half ...then the rest is just blank pages ...what you need is a digital catalg ..on dvd that we your customers can buy from you ..i know that i love getting catalogs ..i sometimes spend hours pooring over catalogs ..dreaming of what i would doo if i had all of these products here..
well bye for now
 

HI i am new to this message board ...but not to Bachmann.. trains ..been buying them for 40 years now.
i just recently bought 7 big haulers train sets (see list below) ... and there seems to be some parts are missing on some engines
and on others there there ...on the left side theres a large value type thing G813X0AX01 and theres a smaller tube like part that is on the middle section ..thats attached in the curved out section that faces the engines side
also some engines come with side rod frames with cross pieces and others don't have the cross pieces why??

WHY??
also out of all these train sets i bought only one came with a figure the tweetsie RR  that was verry disapointing
i know in the past some sets came with figures like the emmit kelly circus set ...
and whats up with the new couplers on the davenports there different ... not much staying power ...keeps uncoupling from both ends... on both davenport engines that i bought .....i will have to try the metal ones and see if there any better...
