Mr Bach-man -

It was difficult to determine the size of the exciter in the Porter due to it's placement.  If it's not infringing on a trade secret, how big is the actual exciter?

Thanks

Mr. Bach-man and fellow On30 modelers -

This year's National Train Show will not be lacking On30.

The California module groups featured in this year's On30 Annual will be joining forces in Sacramento to create a 2200 sq. ft. layout !! 

Also, planning to attend will be the Northern California Narrow Gaugers On30 group.

Mr Bachman -

There is a rumor that the 4-6-0's are on the water and headed to the US.  Could this be true??  Is the long anticipated arrival of the 4-6-0 near at hand??

If true, when might we see production photos and packaging details?

-John

Mr Bach-man -

I know Feb is new release announce time.  Since the 4-6-0 has already been announced and it's initial delivery date has passed, can you provide us with an updated delivery date?

Thanks

-John

Mr Bach-man -

Back in January, we met at the WGH show in Sacramento.  Our module group just finished our last show for this calendar year.  Rather than fix fussy rail joiners or clean track on the morning of the last day, we wedged a pocket camera on the back of a flat car and sent it down the line. 

Here's a link to the results.

Apart from camera clearance issues, this is a continuous shot - 1.2 scale miles start to finish.


Enjoy

I've been looking for a source for the new On30 items.  Your announcement indicated that the Railbus was available.  However, I have yet to find anyplace in the US that is actually selling them.  The closest I've seen is advanced reservations.  Did the delivery date slip?

Thanks

-John

Mr Bach-man -

Would you please post the dimensions for each of the new On30 announcements?

I haven't seen any photos yet of the new 4-4-0 next to the earlier 4-4-0 releases, or of the 4-6-0 next to a Mogul or Consolidation.  Also, are there any other details on the construction or packaging of the new items that you can share?

Thanks

-John

Mr Bach-man -

Firstly, it was great meeting you in Sacramento.

Here are a couple rollingstock ideas -

Four wheel caboose

Short combine

MoW cars

Westcoast beer reefers

Bach-Man -

Will these two new versions use the same sound as in the Forney?
