Quote from: TRAINSROCK! on December 02, 2025, 01:44:56 AMI hope they say they'll do duncan again in 2026 or the following year. (maybe I shouldn't hold my breath for that it's just out of all the recent canceled items duncan was the one I was the most disappointed with). but we'll just see.
I reckon Duncan won't happen until Douglas's overhaul is done.

It's nice that sir handel is finally released after almost four years since he was announced.

he looks great from the images. bachmann did another great job.

I definitely like to buy him eventually along with most of the recent rolling stock for the narrow guage line.

(all three of the new slate wagons in the different paint schemes. and the one of each of the high side wagons. I'm kind of thinking the red and green ones. as there were more of those than there were of the brown ones though i may add the brown ones).

still hope the gondolas and the gunpowder wagons come soon. and as always I hope they say they'll do duncan again in 2026 or the following year. (maybe I shouldn't hold my breath for that it's just out of all the recent canceled items duncan was the one I was the most disappointed with). but we'll just see.

I keep hoping that when enough of us have asked something will happen.  I so miss Lee Riley being there-he would have gone to bat for us, I'm sure.  He's the reason we got On30 from Bachmann in the first place, not to mention the Forneys.

N / New Track Question
Last post by pgreig - December 01, 2025, 07:44:38 PM
I am looking at getting an N-scale train track to line a banister in my home. The bannister is in a large rectangle totaling roughly 45 feet. Will a single continuous track powered by a single power supply work for a layout like this?

Seconded!  I've been asking for a real model of a 2-6-2, not that smoking 0-6-0 with pilot and trailing trucks stock on, for years.

I know it does not just bolt in, you have to mod the loco, but I was under the impression it was the custom painting of the Emmett Kelly loco and associated cars that make the unique circus train that was to be retained.

If it was just any old battery operated big hauler, I would have advised to throw it away and start over with a nice used loco of non-battery vintage.

Looking at the paint job on the loco, perhaps an "ordinary" Big Hauler could be painted to match...

Several ways to skin this cat (sorry kitty!)

On30 / Re: Auto Reversing Train Sets
Last post by Tom_C - December 01, 2025, 11:31:02 AM
You can use regular ez-track, but you need to use a wire to connect the extra conductor on the bottom of the auto reversing track through to the end of the track segment.

You have to purchase the wipers on the Bachmann parts store website.
You'll need two sets of these per car :

 iI your car doesn't have metal wheels on the trucks, you'll need to buy two of these per car:
https://estore.bachmanntrains.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=69_75&products_id=581
And then you'll have to disassemble the cars to run the wires.
