In the 2010 Catalog the picture with Set 90076 White Christmas Express seems to be an Annie.  Can you confirm if the set actually includes an Annie. I'm guessing no Annie, but want to be sure for my historical record.

Any other new sets out there from OSH Bass Pro or any of the other that you can tell us about?

Thanks to Wade Colyer I learned about the new Frontgate Set.

Thanks

Will the 2010 catalog be available for downloading like it was last year??

Thanks

Just thought some might be interested! I was in the Bass Pro Shops
Store in St Louis today and found last year's set on sale for $99.94.  I bought one and also got 4 extra straight Sections of track for 1 cent.  Great deal for a nice set.  The loco is a version 5 chassis so great for kitbashing etc.

There were ony 3 available at the St Louis store,  one appeared to be damaged.   I could not find the old set online?

Bach Man,

Great to see the pictures from I Hobby in the gallery.  Thanks for posting them.  Nice display!

It was interesting to see the 2 new 1:22.5 reefer paint jobs.  Are they the only new reefers in 1:22.5?   Are there any other new paint jobs on other 1:22.5 cars? 

When can I get product numbers for new 1:22.5 items? 

Thanks

Thanks to Davido we now know that there is at least one new set this year.  It is the Limited Run Christmas themed Bass Pro Shops set 90075.  Price $199.00

See my post starting with "Dare I Ask " for additional info.

Loved the ability to download the 2009 Catalog in the PDF file.   Same for the new product announcement flyer.  GReat for when I am travelling and want to access it.   Thanks for making them available!   

Can we expect this to continue in 2010 and beyond?

Bach man,

Here it is October and I am wondering if there are any special sets for the holiday period comming for Sam's, Orchard Supply,  Bass Pro, or other such stores??

With all the attention focused on the new Forney and Long caboose, Many have missed the announcement of the new Spectrum 1:20.3 Flat car with Log Skidder and crates.   The log skidder will also be available seperately.

This new item was in the brochure passed out at the NGRS convention in Denver
The link for the brochure is :  http://www.bachmanntrains.com/newsimages/2009%20NMRA%20pdf/358_sales.pdf   

You will find the new flat car and log skidder on page 10  right under the new Forneys


This looks like a welcome addition for those into logging, or even as a general flat car load in revenue service!!

Got a chance to get a good look at the new Bachmann Thomas items at the Large Scale convention in DEnver.  They had production samples of Thomas and the two coaches.  The Percy locomotive was not at the convention nor were the freight cars.

I was very impressed with how robust they were!  Looks like these should hold up pretty well in play activity.   They were well done and the graphics were outstanding!!

If the mechanism is as robust as the bodies, this item will be a hit!
