HO / Re: Bachmann Cove - Maggie's Cove
October 22, 2026, 09:17:03 AM
Hi Moduleho,

Welcome to the forum. While we still use the "Bachmann's Cove" layout for photos and videos, there are some parts of the layout that are showing their age and need some repairs. We may have some older photos on file that can show off the layout in its' best condition- I'll talk with our marketing department and see what we can find and share.

General Discussion / Re: Track dimensions question

Hi brainguynyc,

The dimensions listed for our sets is the maximum dimensions if all track pieces are assembled as instructed. You can make a smaller layout by not using all of the included pieces of track.

Hi Rick,

We acknowledge that fans are hoping to see the station reintroduced and we're sorry we had to disappoint you by canceling it. We do need to be able to sell the station at a cost that will be acceptable to our distributors and train stores that we sell our products to, so that we don't have to carry excess inventory. We'll discuss it with the Bachmann team and see what our options are.

Yes, they do.

Hi John,

The Heisler was unfortunately cancelled due to low dealer orders.

The Track Cleaning Tank Car is scheduled to deliver in 2027.

Hi all,

The Davenport will be upgraded with all metal gears.

We hope to have it open for pre-orders in the next few months, as soon as we receive pricing information from the factory. I'll make another post when it is available for pre-order through dealers.

HO / Re: American Freedom Train--DC version

Hi Nitratefury,

The locomotive in the set is DCC "friendly"- it does not have a plug-and-play socket, but the motor is isolated from the frame. Installing a decoder will require soldering it inside the locomotive.

In case you missed it... the 2026 Mid-Year Announcements brochure and video are now live!


Please note the Thomas & Friends announcements are not included in the video.

The front cab windows not being painted silver is intentional. These windows are painted over/blanked out on both Sidney and the Mainland Diesels in the show.
