Title: Please re-release Forney
Post by: MarK T on June 09, 2025, 02:54:28 PM
Would love to see a re-release of the Forney's.  Not sure how to make that happen, just putting it out there in the universe.
Thank you

Mark

I agree, but with all of the tarif nonsense going on the price would be even higher than before.  Not to mention that the minimum number that would be necessary to make it worth Bachmann's effort to "reprint" just wouldn't have the necessary sales to make it work.  They were ready to re-release the 2-8-0 Consolidation but realized the cost they would have to charge for each item would never fly.  We can keep hoping.............

Agree completely! I have been waiting for nearly 10 years.

Is Bachmann ever going to release the updated Forney? Would be a great addition for many On30 fans.

But would it be a great money maker for Bachmann?
They flooded the market, leading to many of their locomotives to sell for fractions of MSRP in the end as stocks drained out.
Sure, you know of a handful of people who'd pay decent money for one, but how many are like them?

Forney type and size locomotives have always been my favorite.

P.S.I am nearing retirement and will not be able to afford them, lol.
