I see okay well that answers those questions but what about the Bachmann TGV how long ago were those discontinued?

okay thx guys for your input i guess the plasser must have been a yard master's many tools of the trade. is there anyway to reproduce the metroliner using the amfleet coaches?

quick query here about some of those bachmann trains that have come and gone.
Recently i just purchased an old Bachmann Amtrak Plasser and that thing runs wild on my track it is quite possibly the fastest running thing on there. I've heard that other people have had trouble with theirs so i could understand why they were discontinued. My question is though what prototype it is based on.
Second why exactly were the N scale Doodlebug and Metroliner discontinund i've heard that they were some of greatest bachmann had to offer.
If anyone can help me out that be great. also if you want to post you're own thing about discontinued bachmann do so here.

I understand that but my complaint is that there are no other f40ph's in the other phases except for the ho versions that bachmann makes and as you know i currently don't have the space for HO.

Here is a direct question for the Bachmann. I recently found out about the new Amtrak E60s in HO I was wondering does this mean that you'll probally re running the N scale version for separate sale? Also when are we going to get some F40s in N scale for all of the different paint jobs.

P.S. ROBOT CHICKEN 4 EVA!!!!

ROFL    aw man i can't beleive how funny some of you guys could be I posted this topic only to see what some of your reactions might be thx in all for the laughs and helping me with this Test. Railrod Spike Fight what an interesting concept.

Simon

sry i guess i got a little carried away just ignore this topic Thx 

It has come to my attention that our world that is the world and life of a model railroder has come under the stereotyping of that cruel mstress of comedic television. If all of you were to direct your attention to this weeks upcoming episode of robot chicken(A hit show on the cartoon network adult swim lineup created by seth green) you will quickly see what i mean. In short the parody shows a man playing with his model layout climing to be in a "happy mood" stating that even though he has naver married and never had any kid all he needs is his trainset which will take him to lonelyville. This parody may be comdedic to others but i find it might be a little too over the top for seth green and therefore it sould not have been aired. I know that i might sound like nothing but a critic but I'm just trying to protect my way of life. if those of you wish to comment on this do as you wish but only know that i wish to keep my veiws.
Thank You

i'd like to thank everyone who helped out. I found a Design that would work well for the dimensions that i have made. Also i've decided to go with the atlas turntable it is just a lot easier. Once again thank you all.....but before i close is there anyway i could get some wiring tips for the design from one of you. i'll gladly send the layout plan

speaking of longer engines will a bachmann articulated fit on it?

Also i've been wondering is con-cor really out of production becuase if not then i want to buy a Commodore Vanderbilt and Hudson

Okay i've doen a little tinkering with RTS7 and so far i've come up with some good ideas thanks to jprince for the link  but i need an opinion which roundhouse and turntable is easier to install Walters or atlas.

hello all yu know who this is by now. 

ANyways i've been having trouble with designing my new layout and i need a little help.

first of all here are the things that i wish to have on the layout.

ROundhouse complete with turntable with a minimum of 6 stalls.

A Passenger Station

A switching yard

and some kind of Railway Museum.

The Benchwork i'm using is an 3 ft wide by 8 ft long and is very sturdy. I placed it on wheels to allow mobility and it is constructed of plywood.

Anyone who wishes to help would be greatly appreciated.

Also about the Class J'sdo they really require 19 radius to run.

Thx again SG

hello there again all simon greasly here

i was just wondering and this is for those famillier with captain punjab's thomas the bachmann engine series. Anyway the way the movie is makes it look like the Thomas models can pull regular bachmann rolling stock and regular bachmann engines can pull thomas and friends rolling stock is this possible if so let me know.

thx

okay uh thx i tried out the atlas one and it works fairly well  but one quick question what is a learning curve
