In the instructions, it shows a bit of the type of relays that are being used (K1 and K2).  Is it possible to simply either remove the connection to the coil that triggers it?  And if one or both of the motors turn in the wrong direction, to simply reverse the polarity going to the motor?

The pack of four, plus one add on, was done in several road names and paint schemes. But what was offered changed from catalog to catalog, so there are not a lot of any particular road name floating around.

Thanks for the link.  I didn't know that they had a new board that was a drop in replacement.

Are this particular cars very difficult to find?  I have not seen any of this color on eBay or anywhere for that matter.  I bought a set of 5 from Stout, but would like to add a few more coaches to the mix, even if they are the same car number.

What kind of plug connects the hard wired track power wire to the electronic reversing controller.  I am trying to make or find an extension cord with compatible male and female connector ends.

Ohhhhh I'm down to getting Bulgy as another new road vehicle...!

Personally for me for Duncan, I'd very much prefer going for the real-life basis that's Douglas. I mean his CGI model is.........not so good..... Also, did they not remember that they also did Beau, who doesn't have his CGI model elements (buffer beam above his cowcatchers for example) and stuck to the stock model they had? I mean might as well at this point...

The diameter of the gear is a little too small; I need to increase the module value.

Here is my amended prediction list for the NMRA convention in 2 months. With only Flying Scotsman and Henry being the only products without painted samples, this year could Bachmann's chance to make a comeback with better new projects. The backlog has cleared significantly which means that other scales will have products to introduce, rather than just HO. Feel free to some leave feedback as this will be the last post I'll make about the NMRA train show in August.

HO Scale
- Whiff
- Hiro
- Troublesome Truck 8
- Quarry Hoppers

Narrow Gauge
- Duncan
- V-Tipper Wagons
- Brown Brake Van

N Scale
- Edward
- Duck
- Mail Car (Red)
- LNER 20-Ton Brake Van

G Scale
- Origin James
