I am debating putting link and pins on my bachmann big hauler equipment but I have no real experience with link and pin.  Has anyone done this before?  How does it look?  How do they perform on that type of equipment?  How do they handle in reverse(a very important consideration)?
thanks,

I just got back from ridge road station where I bought the kit for two bachmann flat cars.  I opened the box as soon as I got home to see what I was getting myself into and noticed that the couplers on the trucks are the hook and loops.  I thought thats ok, the knuckle couplers must be in here somewhere but all I found was two more sets of hook and loops.  Why did I get extra sets of hook and loops and no knuckles?
thanks,
Matt

HI,
I just joined because i have this question that I need to ask.  First let me say that I really like bachmann g gauge products, they are my style of railroading (narrow gauge steam) and they fit my price range.
Now, I am an eastern boy and dearly love the East Broad Top and I'm glad to see even more rolling stock coming out with the E.B.T. logo on it, but why don't we have something to pull it with?  I know this has been brought up before.  And I'm not complaining about it, I'm really just curious.  I would think there has to be a demand for it since more and more rolling stock is being released...  Does Bachmann have some way of determining what to make next?  Would a petition help?  If say 100+(just a random number) people said they wanted one or two E.B.T. mikados would that influence anything.
I know that someone is making a 14 and 15 in brass but I am NOT paying that much unless it is live steam!
Just curious and anxiously waiting....
Matt
