Mr. Bachmann, I am really happy with my new Emma Neveda! Everything is so well done! What would make it perfect is the characteristic cab support bars that are on the prototype, that attach from the front of the cab to the running boards. It is listed on the new Mogul diagram as part #MT17C. The screw holes for  the support bars are predrilled on the model. This part was on all the original Spectrum Mogul's and was on the preproduction photos of the Emma Neveda. They are actually in the picture on the box too. If it was on all the pictures and even included on the new parts diagram... does this mean the factory may have forgot something? I emailed your parts department and they claim not to have any in stock. I hope you still can get ahold of this item. I'm sure there will be other detail freaks like me that will also want them too. Please look into this and let me know, I will really appreciate it. Also, if there is anybody on the board who wants to part with the ones from their old Mogul,  please let me know. I will be happy to buy them from you.

Thanks,
Dave

It looks like the new Bachmann Spectrum 2-6-0 delivery is really close!! It now has a price on this site and online dealer sites as well. Walthers even listed it as arriving on March 27th. I'm going to go check with my dealer now to make sure he still has my order!

Mr. Bachmann... Can you please shed some light on a ETA for the new Spectrum 2-6-0's (especially the Grizzly Flats #2)? I thought they were going to be released before the end of the year? Thanks!

Hi everyone, I am thinking about purchasing a K-27 and was wondering if the smokebox door hinges are removeable or casted on. It looks like the top hinge should be reversed with the bottom hinge to be more accurate with the prototype. The hinges sandwich the number board to closely unlike the prototype which is more spaced. Also, how does it size up with the Accucraft k-27 which I already have? Thanks
