I just looked on Walthers's web site, and saw that the release date for the Excursion Cars has been pushed back from May 31, 2007 to the beginning of 2009! Is there a tooling problem that pushed it so far back, lack of interiest?

where exaactly on the walthers website is that? i couldnt find it. :-\
Bad News, if it's correct...had been looking forward to these models.
Bach Man, any news on the delay or what's up with the HO-scale Excursion Cars???
What Excuson car? ???
Mr. Monty Python Gumby ;D
The cars in question are:
#17432 Open-Sided Excursion Car with Seats -- Durango & Silverton HO 30.00 31-Dec-2008
#17445 Open-Sided Excursion Car with Seats -- Cass Scenic Railroad HO 30.00 31-Dec-2008
#17447 Open-Sided Excursion Car with Seats -- Unlettered (silver & black) HO 30.00 31-Dec-2008
#17448 Open-Sided Excursion Car with Seats -- Unlettered (silver & yellow) HO 30.00 31-Dec-2008
#17449 Open-Sided Excursion Car with Seats -- Unlettered (red, green, gold) HO 30.00 31-Dec-2008
If you do a search on the Walthers site in the Advanced Search section and use the prefix number 160 that Walthers uses for Bachmann and then drop down HO and Passenger Cars and mark the search Show Only Advance Reservation Items, it'll bring back the above info. Walthers at least is stating December 31, 2008.
Don't believe any pre-production pics have surfaced yet.
Bach Man, Is there any information you have regarding these cars? And BTW, when is your Photo Gallery returning??? :)
Thanks,
Tony
Is there any new info .
Dear All,
I'll see what I can find out...
Have fun!
the Bach-man
When were these announced?
I did a google search for Open-Sided Excursion Car with Seats and came up with this result.
