Now that Bachmann has the Acela, HHP-8, E-33, and now the E-60, itsn't time Bachmann have a seperate category for the electrics? After all, "Motive Power" has 19 pages, which is discouraging to someone who just wants to browse through what Bachmann has to offer. Steam has it's own category, why shouldn't electrics? Just a suggestion, Mr. Bach-man.
If Bachmann were to separate the electric "locomotives", it would also be nice to include the streetcar models with them, too.

I hadn't thought of that, but you are right. An electric locomotives/streetcars category would be better. On that same note, streetcars aren't really 'motive power', so they really shouldn't be in that category anyway. All the more reason for a seperate category.
If a diesel electric locomotive is running between terminals without a train attached, is it no longer "motive power"? :o Just kidding around.
Also, Bachmann's gas-electric "doodlebug" is listed under "motive power" not passenger equipment.
How about "Electric Engines & Self Propelled Trains"? They aren't the same, but providing too many categories won't make it easier for "new to the hobby" folks who are trying to find stuff, either.
Just some additional food for thought.
