I'm putting all my faith in my informant at Bachmann and an anticipating the release date for mid July. Any takers ? And anticipition still sucks big time,  around 3 more weeks  to go....................

Can't we give them ( Bachmann ) just a little breathing space , on other K units. We would all like and dream of buying a stable of at least one of each class of the D&RGW engines, wouldn't we. At least one. Who are we kidding, one of eah road number, right.................!
The long caboose isn't even out yet.  I'm still anticipating mid July.
Then I will go after the K-28's, and so on and so on.
Get my drift ?, throttle back !, put some sand on the rails!, break!, ( Railway terms for slow down )
Cool, a.  And the a is from Canada.

For me anticipation really sucks big time , 6 more weeks maybe, but on the Back Man's side, I can't expect him to know all release dates and ever thing else we throw at him.......... Or can I / We.

If you go to my May 20th, 2009  board, it my help you.

Yes it will, but you may want to ask someone else about your minimum Radius, I don't know that.

Hope I am closer to to actual release date this time. Can't say who my source is. But, I was told that I goofed by saying a release date of mid June. I was told mid July. So here's to anticipation, that really sucks big time and hoping mid July is right. My K-27 looks lost without a long caboose. Please don't shoot the messenger.............

If my sources are correct and trustwerthy, The long caboose should be released in mid June. I hope my source is correct because anticipation sucks big time..... Sorry about that Mr. Bach man . Can you verify this release date...... Mr Bach Man. 

 I called Bachmann Trains today and they told me the Denver and Rio Grande narrow gauge long caboose may be ready sometime in June, not April as I was told several months ago.
My question is what is the hold up.., why so long. I am anticipating, but it is getting too.
Thanks in advance

You can match up anything you want , But why would you want to match a vanderbilt tender, which is 1/29 scale, to a perfectly good 1/ 20.3 scale logging engine. I my opinion these two scales don't match. In all the logging railway books I have read , I have never seen a vandy on any narrow gauge logging railway engine. What are you thinking? That my thoughs.
Remember , its your engine and you can do what ever you want

Just got off the telephone with Bachmann Customer Service and they informed me that the Denver and Rio Grande long caboose, or any of the other cabooses, may be out by late June or early July. #@%**^#, 
So as the back man says anticipate...but I like you, I am getting impatient.

Some pictures have been posted...... Go to page  #2, Go to ( long caboose dead ?), Go to mancosbob's reply an click onto the web site in his reply. several pictures where pasted of the long caboose. Hope this helps you

Still waitig for a reply from you about train shows in Canada. Hope to hear something from you soon. I know you are busy.

This is to the Bach Man.
I am finding train shows, really boring here in Southern Ontario. Same old, same old. Never once have I seen a Manufacturer here. What would it take to get you to attend a show here in the Toronto area, to show off Bachmann products.  I know you would be a show stopper, and what a boust of Garden Railroading you would be.  Maybe you could start a trend and maybe  Aristocraft, USA Trains, Lgb ( Marklin ) ,etc,etc, may even catch on. Canada could be your undiscovered country. I challenge you to be the leader. I would even help you with contacts if needed.
Your friend in Railroading

If my memory is correct. Delton was bought out by Aristocraft. Same product, new manufacturer. that s the only difference.

It's getting closer, I know it's coming. I can feel it . The long caboose is going to look great behind my k-27. My God anticipation can really stress one out. Come on April.
