Dear Mr. Bachmann:
I would like to present my request for Bachmann Industries to mfg two Baldwin locos presently at Disneyland.
The Ward Kimball and the Ernest Marsh locos as originally built at the Baldwin factory, to avoid legal or copyright issues with the Disney folks, as two follow ups to the INDY loco.
I don't know. It seems pretty simple to select popular small sized locos. Lee Riley just has to visit Disneyland and view the Ward Kimball and the Ernest Marsh locos. Popular incorrect rumor has it that the Ernest Marsh loco was built to represent the first loco on the D&RG. So, build the original factory version of that D&RG loco #1.
These are two famous American locos to mfg but yet Lee Riley chose the Baldwin Mexican RR Connie loco. I think that Americans would more easily relate with these two Baldwin locos made famous at Disneyland.
Future Spectrum locos are far too expensive, so I am hoping these two locos would be built at the product detail and pricing level of the INDY.
Thank you
Norman
