Title: Availability of Santa Fe 4-8-4s and 2-10-4s
Post by: Steve Stull on March 27, 2013, 06:32:29 PM
Hello;

Somewhat out of touch with the market right now due to remote work locations.

In casually looking for both 508XX Santa Fe 4-8-4s and 512XX Santa Fe 2-10-4s, I see that they are no longer listed in the catalog, and not many in evidence on eBay.

Have they been removed from production, or perhaps in between runs at the moment?  Searched the message archives, and didn't come across any information of their current status.

Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks All,

Steve Stull

Let us not forget the same pertains to the Spectrum Heavy and LIght Mountain steam locomotives.

Steve-

Items absent from Bachmann's current catalog are not necessarily unavailable. There's a sort of second inventory of merchandise which
has left Bachmann and is in stores. There's no central tally of just who has what but you can find most items if you hunt around on web
sites and eBay. The Favorite Spot is a large retailer with good service and prices. It's also worth checking with the major advertisers in the
model railroad magazines. Good luck with your hunt.

Don;

Very familiar with Favorite Spot, I have purchased from them many times. Great service all the way around.  At the moment, they have the majority of 4-8-4s that are listed on eBay.

Thanks for your input.
