I've been biding my time hoping to see a tsunami factory equipped 440.
Will this ever happen?

Plasticville U.S.A. / Curious

When I buy a Bachmann ON30 rail equipment, I get super-detailed, danged near flawless accuracy of a piece of equipment, especially Bachmann On30 engines.
But when I take a look at the Bachmann O scale Plasticville structures, I see small-child toys. Sure a couple of the structures could be hacked to pieces to create something akin to the rolling-stock level of detail, but generally nothing that I would put in the farthest dimmest corner of my layout. And the vehicles: ughhh.
Why can't we get the ON30 level of accuracy and detail on your O scale buildings Mr. Bachmann? It would sell 100x what your current selection is selling.

I've noticed that the last several times that I've tried to use this website that the response is excrutiatingly slow. In fact fairly unusable.
Is it just me (other sites seem normal) or does Mr. Bachmann need to consider a reboot of his webserver?

I had the good fortune of buying the last Tsunami Shay from a distributer. The decoder sound and performance is definately superior to the earlier decoder soundtraxx offered for the shay/climax.
One problem I have however is that the coal load seems to be glued in. I haven't taken any tools to it yet, but its definately in there like its glued.
The box appeared to be unopened and the distributer said that it hadn't been opened.  And yes, this is a problem to me since I don't have any other coal burners.
Has anybody have any knowledge of these Tsunami Shays?
I'd sure hate to destroy that mighty fine decoder trying to remove the coal.
