I would like to see better quality and smoother running locomotives from BACHMANN, I also believe that we require new railroad names added rather than the usual railroad names. I think we are getting tired of usual locomotive railway names like > A.T.&SF,PRR,NYC, Conrail,CNW, CSX,NS, u.p.and others ..

 I have tried this in the past and found that it didn't work either, unless I stretched the F unit shell. What I am now saying is this I concur with Mr. David Leonard.

Tom

  I have a question. Is this new run of "4-4-0's receiving new road names or the usual road names "the ones that Bachmann has already used" ? Below is a list of the previous run of the Bachmann 4-4-0's that I have acquired over the years all have been lettered for the following railroads.

Tom

2- Atlantic and Greatwestern RR                - pre ERIE -
3- Buffalo & Southwestern RR                     - pre ERIE -
1- Central New York and Western RR           - pre P.S.&.N. -
1- Lake Shore and Michigan Southern RR    - pre NYC -
2- Northern Central RR                               - pre PRR -
1- New York Pennsylvania and Ohio RR         -pre ERIE -
2- Rome Watertown and Odgensburgh RR    - pre NYC -

 Replacement couplers. I am going to suggest MT (MICRO TRAINS) before they "MT" changed their Numbering system I would say immediately MT1015/1016's. However, since MT changed the numbering system I am not sure...

Tom

No you two are not only ones, I would like to see all locomotive shells added to the parts section on this website.

A person is never too old to learn,the need for education never stops.
  It stops for those who do not have the mental,physical capability and desire to be educated.

  I can save you a phone call to Bachmann, please email me at t.starr@yahoo.com I have a tender from a u.p.rr 4-4-0 that you can have..


Tom

How about a good N-SCALE representations of the Chinese SY and QJ class and others or have complete line of Chinese (it doesn't have to be chinese)steam and diesel locomotives,for those who want something foreign or different.

 My favorite locomotive OK, I have 4. They would be my pair of ATLAS /RIVAROSSI that have been repowered with a MABUCHI motor and a pair of MINITRIX 2-10-0's ,which I repowered with a mashima . However, my all time favorite happens to be my FLEISCHMANN 4-6-0.

Tom

I noticed that the prr T-1 is mentioned, I saw nothing here that mentioned of Pennsylvania  railway's  other than the T-1(4-4-4-4) 6110, 6111.What about the following Pennsylvania RR locomotive types.

PRR S-1 (6-4-4-6) 6100,PRR Q-1 (4-6-4-4) 6130
PRR Q-2 (4-4-6-4) 6131,6175-6199 and PRR S2-6-8-6

However, these all look like nice kitbashing projects. Especially B&O RR's The George Emerson ..

does any now where i can get part number 46605a?

Oh i agree totally, it would be nice to see the selection of locos expand.

Yes , I agree with you also about expanding the selection. If Fleischmann (Kato possibly),other manufacturers and some Bachmann have smoke units in their ho-scale line, I would like to see it expanded to their N-SCALE line hopefully their nonspectrum and the spectrum line of steam locomotives or even produce a kit that we could put in ourselves, knowing that some people (model railroaders) are that mechanically inclined .

How about Bachmann producing a 4-8-8-2 and a 4-8-8-4 cab forward ...

Tom

Tom,

Not sure if the N scale market is big enough to support two models of these, as Intermountain is doing the Southern Pacific 4-8-8-2 AC-12 (due out this year):

Hey Mark,

How about some Beyer Garratt's  4-8-2 + 2-8-4 , 4-8-4 + 4-8-4

    Tom

How about Bachmann producing a 4-8-8-2 and a 4-8-8-4 cab forward ...

Tom

A re introduction of Bachmann's never completed 2-10-0, ALCO C636 also Santa Fe's 2-10-10-2 complete with A.T.&S.F.'s whale back tender,in which the plans appeared in MR (model railroader) back in the late 1980's or early 1990's I think ..

Tom

Have they produced a undecorated version, if not are they planning on one along with other railroads?
