Title: Discontinued Items
Post by: JLK2707 on July 23, 2011, 11:31:07 AM
Why do you think that Bachmann discontinued the following items?

1. Blood and Custard express coaches (Composite and Brake)
2. Well Wagon
3. 6 Ton Wagon
4. Gordon Set
5. James Set
6. Percy Set

The Well Wagon I had no idea was discontinued, but the other sets and the 6 ton wagon are for probably obvious reasons... a lack of sales. Why keep a product when profits aren't up to par? As for the express coaches, I am still unsure as to why this happened.

the well wagon isn't discontinued you might be thinking of the RF container wagon, the well wagon is still in the product info section

Remember, it maybe discontinued now but it does not mean they are gone forever. Bachmann are either giving the tooling a rest or thinking about creatin a new tooling, thats all.
