Howdy everyone. I have thought about this subject for a while now, and noticed that Bachmann is really stepping up their game in the model railroad buisness with the recent pictures and videos of the USRA 2-8-2 sound value locomotive being produced soon. But as some of us would like, let's have our ideas of models we would like seen made by Bachmann.
One that I would love to see on the market again with today's updated technology and possible DCC capability is the old 0-4-0 Docksider or even the B&O C16a locomotive with the tender for sound capabilities. They would be great for people who want a model that fits a switcher and so we modelers don't need to modify the older ones and get them DCC ready. I myself am working on an old Rivarossi C16a and that's a nightmare! But it'll get there soon. As I also own a IHC 0-4-0 Docksider that I plan to add DCC maybe sound. The only thing is those are very hard to come by.
If enough people get an idea started at Bachmann, maybe we will get a good model of a company who can deliver good models for us people wanting them!
Good day all!
