You may find some on eBay or Worthpoint. It might be simpler to use another mfg's Code 80 track that comes in 30 degree and 15 degree sections to replicate those old Bachmann 45 degree arc curves.

Now that the range is 5 years old, I'm kinda debating if I should get into it now or wait a bit? I'm thinking once the Express Coaches are released, I might give this range a try.

Got a little more done on the power plant. Placed it on the layout to get an over view.

This is certainly a model that everyone is excited about one way or another. I agree that using the Spencer chassis would be ideal, given the thinner side rods. I'm also interested to see how some of the finer details such as the two front headlamps will be handled. Much to look forward to in the months ahead!

I agree. I think the hand-drawn text works wonderfully for products such as the D. Fusit Gunpowder Wagon, given its uneven look on the prop from Season 4. However, for the flat wagon with diesel drums, a harder, more even font as shown in the original photoshopped pic would have been more accurate to show, as well as realistic.
