Title: Birney Trolleys - Future WBB product?

I understand that Bachmann will be producing Birney Trolleys for its HO line. Could these also be a future product for WBB for its O line. I would definately like to see Birneys in O, as they could easily navigate the K-line Super Streets track system, as well as any other O track.

BTW, The Peter Witt Trolley is fantastic. I recently ordered the Brooklyn NY Witt from Micro Mark, and it arrived a week later. It runs excellently, has good lights, and the "ding ding" bell sound is awesome and very loud. It runs best on any O track, but it tends to derail on my Super Streets curve tracks, so I continue to run it on regular O track.

Sincerely: JP

With Bowser not making them, a nice WBB would be nice.  But how about some modern LRT cars!

Hi Mr. Mazoch,

Interestingly enough, if you look at my "JP's Wishlist for 2010", found elsewhere in the WBB forums, you will see that I listed LRVs (among other things) as a possible future WBB product.

Also, since Bachmann already produces PCCs, Brills, and SF Cable Cars for the HO line, I think it would be awesome if WBB would produce those same trains for the O line, using the same running equipment, electronics, and lighting as found on the Peter Witts.

Dear All,
I really hope so!
I've made the right people aware if the interest.
Thanks!

A highly rwquested item in shops in the Houston area are the S-7- railcars METRO uses.  And in multiple scales.

Whith computers, it should be easier to scale "blueprints" from one scale to another!
