Hi All,

Anyone know of a good spray paint color match for the 98490 log cars? I have some of tysplanes.com log car extensions to put on and will need to paint them to match. I don't want to change color if I can help it. Do you remember what you used on the prototypes, Bachmann?

Thanks

Wade

 I just received a 94648 switch stand off eBay. I attached it to an LGB 1600 turnout and it seems to work very well. It looks very American in style and the target's shaft base is 2.97mm / .117" so you could make a different one to match what would be on your railroad's era out of styrene or brass pretty easy. It came with extensions to move the stand 3/4" and 1 1/4" farther from the turnout if needed. You can also adjust the throw from 9mm as shipped to 6mm.  It's not spring loaded so if you run through the turnout misaligned you'll derail just like the real ones. (Don't ask me how I know that!!) I'm going to put these on all my manual turnouts. Thank you Bachmann for an American prototype switch stand.

Is this coming soon?

Hi:

Will you be able to make the fall show this year?

Also, are the 93106, 93130 and 93148 bobber cabooses listed as new in the catalog on the water?

Thanks

Hi All:

I just received 2 93330 EBT box cars I got on E-BAY. The picture on E-BAY showed the car in bright caboose red. These are dark brownish red. I collect and already have some in this color. Has anyone got or seen these cars in bright red?

Hi All:

That's a nice logging style snowplow on the cover of the Spring 2011 Micro-Mark catalog bashed from Bachmann parts. Might it be a prototype of things to come?

Wade

Hi:

Any idea when the 93268 Berkshire Ham & Bacon reefer will be available?

Hi Bach Man:

Any chance of some pulpwood cars in 1:22 in the future?
