Hi Luis,

Len is correct. The DCC Sound Value version of the 0-6-0 does not have a smoke unit.

Hi Chris,

To have the red marker lights on the rear of the train work correctly with directional control, you will need to set up the locomotive and cab car as a Consist. There are instructions in the Quick Start Guide included with the cab car.

Hi jaguar10,

Please contact our service department and they will advise you on how to proceed.

Hi dvbase,

Please contact the Bachmann service department directly first. If your locomotive is under warranty we can provide a replacement.

Hi slotbuddy,

We're currently expecting them to be restocked this fall.

Hi everyone,

We want to apologize for the cancellation of Knapford Station and other items- it's just as disappointing to us as it is to the fans.

In trying to keep up the rate of new product announcements and releases from years past, our engineering team and factory were not able to keep pace and over the past few years, the length of time for them to study a project and submit a tooling cost and retail price increased. Compounded by tariffs and the general state of the economy, when we did receive costs, they came back higher than expected.

To elaborate more on Knapford Station: We made the new version half the size and half the number of parts as the first release with the goal of reducing the price. The cost we were given by the factory was higher than the last time we sold it, for a kit that was half the size- It wouldn't be economically feasible for us, nor would it be fair to the consumer to raise the price that much.

We think that this year the production delays have stabilized, and that we will be able to get costs much faster than we have the last 2-3 years. And we are no longer going to announce products until we receive a final cost from the factory, so that we are not announcing projects only to cancel them when they are not feasible.

Hi Awesometrain,

I was told that the licensor at the time (HiT) told Bachmann that we were not allowed to make models of these characters, I believe due to a potential legal issue. I don't think any prototypes were made or still exist.

Hi Steve,

Please check out our service information page and place a request with the repair department.

Hi Jim,

The digital version of the catalog will be posted to our website this Saturday, January 24th. Print copies will be available for purchase in February.

Hi Takapu Road,

This light is the auxillary headlight. It is controlled by entering Light Mode by pressing F8 twice, then pressing F5. It can be toggled on or off when the headlights are at full brightness. When Rule 17 dimming is used, the Aux Headlight will be off.

Hi Takapu Road,

Can you please list all of the options in JMRI Decoder Pro so I can determine which is the best option?

Hi Ricky,

These cars are new tooling for Bachmann, using a combination of our existing 72' Baggage Car model and new car sides. These cars will feature interior lighting, metal wheels, and body mounted E-Z Mate knuckle couplers.

Hi Nitratefury,

Due to production schedule changes, we don't have a release date yet other than they will arrive this year. We'll make sure to share updates when we have them.
