March 2,Saturday, I was in Attalla,Alabama to see TVRM #630,with the smallest water tender I have ever seen,and a GP40-2 MUed to a RPE4C Slug w/cab,trailing 12 cars, arrive from Chattanooga,Tenn. Eventhough it was cold and snowy,sure was nice to see steam in AL. again. Can't wait to see 4501 up and running again. And I hope the rumors about 611 are true, would love to see her run again.

Hi Mr Bachmann.If Union Pacific succeeds with their plan to restore and operate Big Boy #4014,is there any chance Bachmann could be persuaded to produce an HO scale Spectrum version with tsunami sound?Or even a sound value version?If so I'm sure I would not be the only one who would be buying.

Mr. Bach-mann,I have one of your superb HO motorized turntables.Now I need an ez track roundhouse to go with it.Your mission,should you choose to accept it is to construct a single stall with front,back,roof,floor with attached ez track and one side wall I can slide up to and attach to turntable.Then construct an add on stall to slide up to turntable and match first stall.Then construct third stall with opposite side wall,thus completing a three stall roundhouse,with option of adding other add on stalls.I do not believe this to be an impossible mission.What do you say Mr. Bach-mann?Will you accept this mission and provide this loyal customer a means of using my turntable to store my Bachmann locomotives under cover?Thanks again for providing this forum which allows us to make request for new products.This message will not,repeat not self destruct.

I understand NS & TVRM are planning to run 4501 on steam excursions again.Anyone have any info concerning when & where these excursions will run?An HO spectrum version of 4501 would be nice.
