I'm not gonna lie, I really don't like the font they used for the new flat wagon with diesel fuel load. It looks too cartoony and looks nothing like it did in season 8.



In the show it used a more hard edged font, like you would see on industrial wagons in real life.



I didn't expect it to bother me this much, and I really don't know why they chose the comic sans esc font on the final design, but I would strongly advocate to have it changed. I know realistically production is already too far ahead for it, but if enough people push for it (which I'm sure they'll be alot), anything could be possible. Just my thoughts.

Looks like a couple of 18 inch straights have been added to the line up in the 2026 catalog.

I don't know how to add a photo but I have the whole set of Bachman 5 item #26381 and it still has the manual and comic

So these two were cancelled in 2005 not much is know other then the fact that rickety was retired in the wooden railway line the same year.

Was there any reason for their cancellation? Is there any prototypes that can be shared from years ago?

Running N Scale, but I think I need additional power.  Do I splice into the Bachmann red power line and run to my feeder(s)?  Is there a better way to do it?  thanks

No, it's plastic, and very detailed. Definately not Plasticville.  Almost like something you'd get from Walthers.

Is this a wood kit? It doesn't look like the Plasticville version.
