Title: Whatever Happened To The Resin?
Post by: thomasj219 on August 13, 2019, 11:55:15 PM
Was the range discontinued? Will it be updated in the future?

Is it true the signal box is discontinued?

They would be missing out on a huge opportunity by discontinuing it right as they enter the UK and Japanese markets...

I remember everything was still in the 2019 catalog besides the signal box. TrainWorld still has everything in stock including the signal box!

I would love to see more additions to the resin building line. Sadly, they did not do well with sales in the United States. However, as Cheeky ULP stated, Bachmann would be missing out on a major opportunity if they discontinue the line, as the resin buildings generally do much better with sales in the UK and Japan.

I've made plenty of suggestions for new buildings they could add in the past: https://www.bachmanntrains.com/home-usa/board/index.php/topic,34707.0.html

Would love to see a narrow gauge double engine shed and ruined castle in particular!

They should just bring it back for the United Kingdom and Japanese markets! :)
