Dear Bachmann,

I was looking for an undecorated wood cab shay with three trucks, the problem is that I can't afford the ones with DCC and Sound, maybe only DCC but it's out of my budget. did your company ever make standard DC locomotives by chance. if not can I run DCC and Sound on a DC layout? some DCC equipped locos do.

thanks,

Al

hello, anyone that does not know who I am, I'm alex and I've been modelrailroading since I was ten years of age. anyway I have a classic UNION PACIFIC R.R bobber caboose and since my grandpa gave it to me when I was 12 or 13 years, it had quite of play, tried converting it to thomas and friends range but that didn't work and today I'm converting it to at Tside shed, but Istill want the weathered body( plus I love the classics) is it possible to buy a Silver-Series bobber and place that underframe to the U.P.R.R shell?

thank you very much.

Hello all,
I have officially put up auditions for characters in my Bachmann Thomas series "The New Adventures of Thomas and his Friends." now I know I made this announcement before and it was false, I apologize, but to show you it's real, I will post the "Pilot Episode" basically dressing the blank set and running the trains, kind of like Captain Punjab. but if you have a YouTube account and want to audition, heres the link

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tr6rGx4sCNE

might not make sense, but to summerize,

rules are

1. use audio format and [a] pictures of the engine/engines your auditioning for. (doesn't matter whether their your bachmann hornby tv series model cgi, what ever, just as long as its the character your doing.)

2. I will not accept video auditions( not to be a fuddy duddy but I only like audio format with pictures so I don't have to watch the camera shake around like an earthquake is happening.)

3. I don't know what three is but I might figure it out in rule #4.

4. ignore what I said about toby, audition for toby, he'll be in a few first episodes.

5. I just like making rules, I have no idea what Rule 5 is.

there are the rules, just ask if you have questions( other than the facts that I put extra rules that mean nothing at all type of questions.) any who.


GOOD LUCK,

Alex Wittman

Hello,

I am in the process of making a prototype Gauge 1 thomas with bachmann thomas large scale. anyway, I am looking into tracks, but I want to go with bachmann, but when I found Marklin I gauge then I started thinking, are they different in size? if any one knows, please let me know.

thank you

Dear Mr. Bachmann,

I have a fine 2-6-2 Union Pacific prarie locomotive here and two things, the rod holding up the right piston had broke, so I need help there and the last time it was repaired or replaced was in 2004, so I don't know what to do here, The coupler on the tender I could fix easily, and the plastic wheels I replaces with Nickel silver wheels of your brand. so would your company accept myself delivering it to Bachmann Service and see what you guys can do, besides thats all that needs done (I think) but I don't want to spend $100 on a new one sir, I don't have that money, only for repairs or replacement. if you would do that you would make me the happiest young man in Idaho.

sorry if this is a bother to you,

Alex

Dear Mr. Bachmann,
I wanted to know if you woulden't mind if you post the sheds and turntable on the photo gallery, like you did with emilys coaches. i am really excited for what it will look like.

Sincerely,

Alex Dylan Wittman

this is a new layout, and i gave them the idea and we are working hard on it to get Thomas chugging down the tracks at conventions or wherever, here are the pictures.







finally, i got it. sorry for the inconvenience. ENJOY!!!!

Dear Mr. Bachmann,
will you be making a thomas and friends commercial on television, I would like to see one sometime, if not possible, i will try and make one myself for my youtube account. but as my question, will you make one soon or later?

sincerely,
Alex Dylan Wittman

dear all,
I wanted to know if you can install one of bachmann DCC decoders inside a Thomas and friends locomotive. Mr. Bachmann, can it be possible.




     sincerely,

I have just put in the mail my spectrum union pacific steam locomotive because the tender just started smocking when i wanted it to run, I have taken very good care of it too, when it comes in the mail can you check the tender and see what went wrong? thank you very much.

p.s. i do not know what steam loco it is so see a package with my name on it.

Dear Mr. Bachmann,
  My thomas model is in bad shape, he runs well but his paint and his face are coming to an end. one if his back buffers broke off so i tried to fix that,now only one good buffer is still on him, may I exchange a new one please. 
         Thank you very much,
                          Alex Wittman

dear fans of thomas in half O scale, as you all see on television, some of the streams on sodor have real running water, so on my ho layout, i have planned to buy a bachmann trains water pump( carded accessories) and build a real running stream like on t.v. so can you give me some helpful advice on how to make the river bed.?

   thank you very much,
            Alex Wittman

         p.s. i am nearly complete with my first episode of TBBT. i will show you a sneek peek soon.

Mr. Bachmann,
I was hoping you know what to do about this situation i have right now, thomas' eyebrows on my thomas kind of chipped off and i want to paint new ones on. can you give me advice on that?

  Thank You very much.

dear Mr.Bachmann,
Is it true if you have a DCC equipped thomas the tank engine and friends locomotives and use your command control, is it really easy to change the decoders address?
                                  Sincerely,
                                 
                                           Alex Wittman, future model railroader.

this is an outrage to me that we don't know the secret of how to make a simple skarloey railway with all the engines but topkafatz knows how to make them so detailed with the chassis, I mean we do not know how to do that like he does, i say we make a topic where websites of chassis and narrow gauge stuff can be found and we can relax with our new skarloey railway engines but i have godred made because he was level one to the project, ertl skarloey and rhenaes is level two, but i say i can make a new topic so everybody can post the websites from this speech and we can do that simply, right am i right so i am asking you guys this please do this for ourselves and others.

guys can you help me? i am going to modifie a lady ertl die cast character to a HO model engine with motor and eveything. so can some of you guys give me tips on how to do that.

dear bachmann,
I just want to know how to make and place rocks on my layout i am building.
