Thomas & Friends / Is it Just me?
January 31, 2009, 08:06:22 AM
I just got my Bachmann Henrietta and I noticed that her coupler looks to be a little higher than my other rolling stock and locomotives.  When I try and run her there is always a derailment because of her coupler being so high.  Does anyone else have this problem or think the coupler is too high?  Here's some photos I took of my Henrietta.  Yes, I don't have Toby yet! :P

Thomas & Friends / TT Station Mr. Bachmann???
December 08, 2008, 11:06:51 PM
Dear Mr. the Bach-man,
I usually get model's off of www.ttstation.com and I was wondering if you could tell me when they will be getting Edward.  I buy the model's off of them because they are closer to my area and seem to take only 2 days for me to recieve.  If you can help, please do.  :-\

Thomas & Friends / Question about Edward Mr. the Bach-man
November 20, 2008, 11:24:53 PM
Excuse me sir,
I was wondering how many wheel drive Edward is going to be as I am putting a hill on my layout and don't want to make it to steep for him.  Thanks. ;)

Mr. the Bach-man
Eddierools says that he is having trouble on here.  He says that he can't log in or log out.  He wants to know if you can fix this for him.

Thomas & Friends / Leaving the Hobby
October 05, 2008, 12:55:44 AM
Hey guys,
I am sorry I haven't been on for a while.  I have just started school again and I am very stressed out.  I am sorry to say I might be getting out of this hobby.  My mom is getting sick of having to trip over my layout and she has told me several times she is going to sell all my stuff.  I will see about posting an update in this topic as time goes on.  Best wishes to all you guys out there. ;)

HO / USRA 0-6-0 Steam Loco
September 15, 2008, 01:22:21 AM
I just bought a USRA 0-6-0 Steam Loco and I am having problems with the smoke unit.  I put 4 drops in it but the loco won't smoke.  Does anyone know how many drops are to be put in or what might be the problem?

Thomas & Friends / Question for Chaz
August 15, 2008, 12:13:10 AM
Ok to start this off I am sorry if this is spam. :(

Chaz
I had a question on your light up Thomas models.  I was wondering how the models light up.  Is there a circuit board in them that makes the front light turn on when the loco is going forward and the back one turn on when the loco is going backwards?  Also how did you make them light up?  I also was wondering if those are the same lamps on the models that were on them before.

HO / Shawmut Line 50/100 ton hoppers
August 15, 2008, 12:04:39 AM
Dear Mr. the Bach-man
I and a few members of a club I started want to run a few Shawmut Line trains at a model show.  We are trying to find some 50 and 100 ton hopper cars.  We were wondering if you made any or know anyone who makes them.  I was also wondering if you had any Shawmut Line cabooses.  I plan to run 50 cars behind a set of 2 Sw9's, another set of Sw9's, and a set of 2 Sw9's and a GP7 so I need 150 cars total.  If you can help please do.

Williams by Bachmann / Williams looks cartoon like.

Thomas & Friends / The Bachmann Mavis
July 20, 2008, 04:55:26 PM
Mr. the Bach-man
I am annoyed with the way Mavis looks.  I can handle James's wheels being gray, I can stand Annie and Clarable's chassis being gray, I can understand the tender bottoms on the engines gray, and I can even accept the hooks on the engines gray.  I am not pleased at all the way Mavis looks. >:(

http://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/160-58801

I am hoping that you can tell me that she will be her proper color. :(  I think it is crazy that this company uses gray for stuff that should be black. :P

Will Mavis be black or gray? ???
#12
This is crazy!  I was looking through the Thomas & Friends line from Bachmann and these prices are just stupid! >:(

Express break coach $35.00
Composite coach $35.00
Cattle wagon $19.00
Well wagon $19.00
cream tanker $19.00
Raspberry Syurp tanker $19.00
Salt wagon $19.00
RF Container wagon $19.00
6 Ton wagon $19.00

These are just a few of the prices I am not pleased with.  I know gas prices are the cause of some of this but $19.00 for a thin piece of plastic on wheels seems just unreal. :P

Mr. the Bach-man
I barrowed a Percy model from a friend on Sunday to run at a model show for the kids.  As I was running him he just stopped.  The motor wasn't hot or smelled like anything a motor shouldn't and all his wires were in place.  I also checked his wheels because some of the people at the show don't clean the wheels on their big trains before they run them.  His wheels were clean and shinnie.  I tried pushing him along and tapping on him but it did no good.  I need to know what the problem is so I can fix it before I return him.  Please help.

Well here it is.  Feel free to talk about anything that has to deal with a Rosie model or a Rosie model by Bachmann. ;)

Mr. Bach-man
you know more than I do about Salty.  I was wondering if he was going the have the rusty buffers and the weathering on the front of him.  Thanks. ;)

Can you post pics of all the models you made or a link to them.  I have been interested in your work and may try to make a few models like yours. :D
