Large Scale on Line just posted a video review of the new Murphy roof 1:20.3 box car.

I've had one on order since they were first announced.  My dealer's supplie has them on order but has heard nothing from Bachmann as to when they will ship.

Mr. Bach Man any idea when we might see this new box car?

Maybe they are already out there and the dealer's supplier has dropped the ball.

Bill,
Please send me your mailing address.  I have the Spectrum Lynn box and sleeve packed and ready to ship.

Sorry I forgot to bring it to the ECLSTS.

My e-mail address is jlsclw@aol.com

Trust you had a good trip home after the show.

JD

Bach Man,

Will Bachmann Industries be represented (have a booth/display) at the SELSTS this coming May?

Oops! That should be the Southeast Garden Railroad Show.

My dealer just called.  His order of Mallets arrived this afternoon.

I'm on the way out the door to pick one up for the CD&StL.  No doubt the shop crew will be standing by awaiting its arrival on the property.  Might be working late tonight.

Will post a couple of pictures tomorrow.

Now Larry, Moe, and Curley along with the "Amen Choir" will have something to keep them busy, over the Holidays, as they "evaluate" the new locomoitve. That should be entertaining!

Bach Man,

Now you've gone and done it.

Thanks for posting the video of the new Mallet in operation.  She's a beauty. 

Now the "anticipation" is raised yet another notch.

My dealer just called to say he had received an initial shipment of the K-27 accessories.

He now has road pilots, switcher pilots, snow plows, and the dog houses.  He also has the straight shank and offset shank couplers.

So now those without dog houses and snow plows can get their K-27s ready for winter.

One of the new Davenport Gas Mechanical switchers arrived this afternoon.  I won't get the opportunity to put it in operation till middle of next week.  A trip to Ohio puts operation on hold.

The Davenport arrived in good condition.  No broken or missing parts.  It comes well packaged.  This should be a nice addition to the roster. 

JD

Bach Man,

Any word yet on when the replacement couterweights will arrive and be ready for distribution?

Thank you,

JD

Thanks for resending the December News Letter.

I look forward to receiving it.  On the first try this time those little boxes with the red x just didn't get the job done. 

I print the news letter and keep the copies.
