mr bachmann, i have heard that the mallet will not be produced now. is this true or is this just a sick joke? if it is still going to be made when can we brake into our local hobby store late at night and steal one? i mean when can we go purchase one?
Did you hear this from the same source that told you Bachmann was producing a 1.20.3 U-50-B?
In the announcement Bachmann stated that it would be due in November, no doubt the Bach Man can give an update.

The Mallet IS going to be produced. They have a prototype model that they have shown at shows. It's not still in the concept stage as was the case with the Vulcan. Rest assured that it WILL be produced.
I hope it is produced, I have one preordered.
The cover of Timbertimes #43 has a nice picture of a 2-6-6-2T on it. This will be a great looking engine.

Dear All,
I have never seen so many absurd rumors surrounding a model!
It will be produced, it is, at this writing, expected by year's end, and we are not trying to "design out" any after-market control system- quite the contrary!
Never fear, it will arrive!
Anticipate!

Dear Friends,
Is there any thought to what the MSRP might be? Similar to the K-27? What about the initial discount price, if any? Thanks a million!
Best Wishes,
Jack

Shucks! Too bad no Warbonnet ???
At least we can all hope for another
inappropriate Bumblebee! ;D
Hey Jack,
Latest issue of G R, St Aubin has the mallet listed at $599.00
chuck
According to the Backmann newsletter, the MSRP is $1250.00. And like Chuck just said, St Aubins is asking $599. But that is with a $50.00 non-refundable deposit right now.

i did not get this from the u-50 guy, but the u-50 guy said that the mallet was going to be painted in sp daylight colors or sunkist orange soda colors only in the usa.
I think you should find a new source for your information. The mallet will not be orange, or in daylight colors.
The Bach-man is right, there seems to be a lot of absurd rumors about this engine.
Bruce
Dear Chuck & Bruce,
Nice round number! Thanks a million!
Best Wishes,
Jack
How about the one where it starts out, "I never thought this would ever happen to me..." Guys, I really think that this thread is not doing anything!! Any speculation now wouldn't be taken seriously anyhow! :P
Bruce, get a grip. the u-50 thing was a joke. although maybe inside, so was the road names mentioned. sorry for any confusion. bob.
