To All,  may we reflect and give thanks for all that we have been Blessed with.  Happy Thansgiving.  Stephen

I remember reading about a web site that someone had posted involving the Acela Express.  Anyone remember what that is?  I am building two trains and would like to see about obtaining two powered locomotives for their chassis.  I don't care if they work or not.  Bachmann no longer has the chassis.  Thanks for any assistance,  Stephen

I am unable to get my pictures to post to the board.  Anyone wanting pictures please send your email address and I will gladly send any or all of what I have.  Actually well over 500 pictures!  Stephen

Is anyone else having problems with the product page?  For about one week now, the page is coming up unavailable at this time.  Since I am currently overseas, it may be just my firewall.  Just curious....Mr. Bach-man...?                Stephen

And a very Merry Christmas to all of you at Bachmann!  Stephen

Bach-Man

just for a little info for me, are you going to be at the H & R Trains, Train Show on the 13, 14 and 15 of April, in Pinellas Park FL?  I am on active duty at MacDill AFB right now and plan to take leave for the show.  Alice indicated that Bachmann is an avid supporter of their show.  Stephen

I have a brand new Bachmann F40PH Phase III loco and first run it in DC and it worked very well.  I then took a new Bachmann decoder and installed it in the loco.  Not my first one!  The loco began to run at a moderate pace with the throttle turned completely off.  (EZ Command)  When I put the controller on 10 I can control the throttle somewhat.  It will not change directions nor will any of the other functions work.  I thought maybe I had a bad decoder and tried another one.  Same results.  Anybody have any ideas here?  thanks     Stephen

Bach Man,
       Just received your new catalog last evening and was excited and pleased with what I read and saw.  Very well laid out.  Kudo's to you.  I do however, just couldn't seem to get by without a complaint could I, (lol)  I noticed that you no longer advertise the 55 ton Climax in HO scale.  I do understand the possible economics but it seems such a shame.  I have not yet been able to purchase the Climax.  The #3 Moore-Keppel is currently running where I live, or about an hour away.  Great little steam engine!  I also noted that the HO scale 80 ton Shay no is no longer advertised with the Cass Scenic Railroad decoration!  That's a shame too!  I am an hour from Cass WV and that is the icon of timbering in WV!  Just had to relay my dissapointment but I do understand if no one but me buys them you can't very well continue to make them.  I do have a question for you though, is it possible to get the Cass decals and I can decorated and number the undec Shays?  I know I can get them made but it might be better if they were available from Bachmann.  Thanks for all the effort Bachmann has made this past year and to a catalog well worth waiting for!  Stephen
