Hi all,

I want to re-letter a Bachmann GP9 and was wondering if the roadnames/logos on these locos are painted on or are decals themselves. Additionally what is the bast way to remove them? Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi all,

I was informed by a friend that the new OSH train sets for 2007 were now on the shelves so tonight I decided to go check them out and snap a couple photos for you guys. Got there and wondered through the Christmas section until I got to the last Christmas aisle....found it! I must say I am quite impressed and this is a very nice set. It is a Bachmann Ten Wheeler (NOT the Anniversary) a combine, and observation, all with the OSH logo and lettering. Coaches have battery powered lighting with the standard 9V. Comes with an oval of Bachmann track and a transformer; as usual with all Bachmann sets.

I plan on buying one of these sets when they go to 50% off after Christmas. I may be a narrow gauge modeler....but you have to have some fun sometimes right?

Anyway here are some photos.....if you have questions about the set feel free to ask and I will see what I can do.



The loco...sorry about the flash....overhead store lights don't make the best background lighting.



The combine



The observation



All the sets on the top shelf.....at $230 I don't think they are going too far....not until after Christmas at least when they go to 50% off

Bach-man, (or anyone else who knows and can help) is it possible to use E-z Mate couplers on Athearn equipment without modifications? I would like to use them to get rid of the stupid hornhook couplers and my LHS carries a lot of them.

The LHS has these 2 versions of the E-Z Mates.......

Thanks in advance for any help! 

Some pictures of my recent Annie (4-6-0 Bachmann) bash. Although now I am upgrading it to the Anniversary drive and it is going to be converted to battery power and R/C. I am buying a battery trailing car (AMS Stock Car) to put everything in i.e. servos, batteries, etc.

After








Also, some pictures of my Bachmann bobber bash (also G scale)








And some more pictures of my flatcars and boxcar bashes......







Thanks Bachmann for providing such great models to work with!


Anyone else have some G models they want to share? 

Mr. Bachmann, I just called service this morning regarding my Bachmann Big Hauler. I was told that because I have had the locomotive for over 1 year, I have to pay the charges now. If I want to get the Anniversary edition of the chassis, It's $142.00 with shipping. I was also told I could send it in to Philly for the $25 charge or something, I remember hearing $50 I don't remember. I don't know if I want to send it in because I have heavily modified it. What should I do? I would like to just have the chassis sent to me, then I would send the payment to Bachmann and I would switch it out myself. What should I do?!?!?!?!?!

Still shopping around. Can anyone give me some info on this loco? Trainworld is having a closeout on them and I would like to take advantage of it.

I am looking into purchasing one of these. Can anyone give me some info on it?
