According to information on the Bachmann Europe website Heislers 28802/3/4/5 arrived in the UK in the last 30 days!
I have not been able to gain further info from my supplier over here as they have closed for the day ( we are +5Hrs over ) but I will phone them tomorrow.
Bachmann Europe website is accessable from the Bachmann USA home page via the Union Jack Flag
Anyone purchased one yet? Let us know. ;D

Hi Royce
The situation currently is that according to Bachmann Europe's website ( accessable from the USA site) The Heislers have arrived in the UK however my usual retailer (Tower Models Blackpool) is awaiting info. ( it can take a week or 3 for stocks to be distrubuted to the retailers)
As soon as I get further info I will post here ( I remeber when the 2-8-0 finally arrived some years back, it was on sale in the UK about 3 weeks before the USA)
Thanks for the information ::) I will be saving my money to buy one.

My supplier here in the UK has today updated their website with details of the Heisler stating that it will be available soon, although it may be just after the Bachmann Price increase in March.
I have placed an order, so I will post my impressions on here when it arrives.
If you want to see the website the address is www.tower-models.com if you click on one of the Heisler cataloge numbers the 'Heisler page' is displayed
BTW Tower Models is in Blackpool, Lancashire and is situated just behind Blackpool Tower 528'high!
The plot thickens on the Heisler!!!
Since posting the previous, I have spoken once more to my UK retailer Tower-Models and they advise me that Bachmann UK have informed them today that the Heislers have been delayed further as the shipment has had to be returned to China, no info given on what the problem is!!
I was told it could be 3 months before they are now available, if I hear anything else I will update.
**EDIT** *** 23rd Feb...12-05PM GMT ...Tower-Models website updated to advise of a 3 to 4 month delay!***
Perhaps Mr Bach-Man is able to let us know what is happening?? I know that there are a few disappointed people over here with cash burning holes in their pockets!!
