Title: 1:29 can it be true?
Post by: Chastity on July 19, 2013, 02:06:36 PM
Just saw the announcement for the Peter Witt streetcar listed as 1:29 scale. 

I hope this is the portent of more things to come in this scale from Bachmann.

Indeed

The Large Scale Peter Witt is indeed 1:29.  It has a speaker installed and a 21 pin DCC connector.  When stopped the brake light is on.  You can also independently turn on the brake light, the front light, the marker lights, and the interior lights.  Bachmann was running it today at the NMRA National and it ran very smoothly.

Let us hope this is just the first of more 1:29 to come.  The Witt streetcar is across now all the lines, so what might be next if this is successful?

I see the Shark pretty much across the lines for diesel and the Berkshire in steam.
