Just had a great experience with Bachmann Customer Service.  I contacting them regarding a small missing part from a recent purchase.  Within a week I didn't just receive the part, I received a new green box in the mail!

Does anyone know anything about the Model Railroader announcement of what sounds like brass track from Bachmann?

Hello Bach Man,

Who will be on hand to represent Bachmann at the narrow gauge convention this year?

Thanks!

Has anybody attempted to narrow the gauge to 32 mm (O scale) so that the engine can run on a track width closer to the prototype's two feet?

I am in the process of finally working on a 2-6-0 I bought awhile back.  I checked an old Model Railroader review that stated it only drew .88 Amps stalled at 20 volts and .14 Amps running freely at 20 volts.  Has anyone had a chance to verify this; it will really help in decoder selection. 

Thanks,

Jim

I was honored this month to have my small "pizza" layout illustrated on Carl's web site.  My layout uses 6 inch radius curves with 0-4-0 Porters using Bachmann DCC decoders and Bachmann DCC controllers.  A friend made the You Tube video.
