Yes I just ordered my new steam engine on the way from Mario's Trains. I will give everyone and update when it arrives.   Williams Southern Semi-Scale 4-6-2 Pacific - True Blast Plus

I got my new steam engine and unpacked it and lubed her up and saw that the the back trucks side plate not there. I found it in the carton and the screw was inside the tender on the speaker magnet. Now how in the world could that screw get there. I think Bachmann might want to check there quality control some where along the line. This was completely seal from the factory so no one had been it this carton. I removed the truck screw from under the speaker and repaired the truck and put it all back together and all is good. I really like this engine and has great sound. I am still a WBB die hard. The just are great engines and run great.

I wonder if there are any RS-11 engine on the horizon to be made. I sure would like to have some with all the good sounds and quality that WBB makes.

Thanks Chessie1971.

Well I ordered the new GP38 CSX from Mario's Trains yesterday and it is on its way to me. I will have some pictures as soon as I get it.  


Okay I got my CSX this morning and outstanding service from Mario's Trains. The sound is great and WBB did a great job with this one as they really do with all there engines.

Looking for some RS1, RS2, RS11. maybe some day I hope.

Thanks Chessie1971

Thanks Country Joe. I like that paint scheme.

I just ordered the Dash 9 Green and White Southern. Also ordered 2 new sound 16 bit modules to put in two of my NW2 switchers. I got the RS 3 sound. I know its not correct but will do for me. Thanks again WBB for making just great stuff. My engines just keep growing. Next on the list is the Southern Steam engine or maybe the CSX GP38.  

Update when I ordered my engine and sound units they were shipped the same day and due in first of the week. What great service from Mario's Trains.

It made here today and looking good. I will do some detailing but a really nice engine.

Thanks Chessie1971. I have seen some of your things on OGR forum as well really nice.

Thanks Country Joe
I agree with you about just doing small detailing makes those WBB engine look outstanding to me. I need to do a little lite painting on the trucks and a cab engineer. Then last and LED head light and 16 bit sound board and I will be done.

New update on the units. Added the lift rings and antenna.

Thanks Country Joe I hope to get the lift rings installed and antenna's on and my detail person fix my mistakes. 

I just got two GP38 Seaboards one motored and one dummy on the way to me. I will send them to my detail shop. 
I need to start getting some new 16 bit WBB sound systems to plug and play with my engines. That will be the next project. I wish I could find a dealer that would maybe discount a little by buying say maybe 6 at a time.

Well they have made it to the shop and I thought I would give it a try to do some detailing myself.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments.

Lee F. yes both F7 A's are powered. Very nice runners and the QSI sound is in the B unit. These are the old Williams Crown series I believe. I am very happy with them and all my WBB/Williams engines. They are great engines. I think am up to about 25 engines now.

I just got my set of ABA Sp F7's. These are from the older series Williams and have true sound.(QSI) Really nice set. I have not sent them to my detailing shop yet. I am enjoying running them. I did put a scale kadee coupler on the lead unit.
