Bachmann HO Tar Wagon - Has it been discontinued?

[JLK2707]

I have looked at the Bachmann website on The HO Scale Thomas and Friends section and noticed that the TAR wagon was missing. I am wondering if it has been discontinued or whether or not Bachmann took it down accidentally. Any ideas as to why this is?

[Ivo Hugh]

I'm not sure if it has been discontinued or not. We shall find out later on. Onto another topic, who has noticed that Hornby has brought back their model of Bear?

on the tower hobbies website it also says that the cattle truck is discontinued, http://www.towerhobbies.com/trains/train_listings/child_freight_cars.html

also says Henrietta is a "limited run." possible discontinuing? http://www.towerhobbies.com/trains/train_listings/child_pass_cars.html

and on this page too ------> http://www.towerhobbies.com/trains/train_listings/child_locomotives.html

*update* after realizing that all three links were the same, i updated them.

So that was the second missing item! I noticed that after the Product Info was edited, two items had been taken off the list. I figured out that one of the items was the Cattle Wagon, and now I just noticed that the Tar Tanker is the other missing item. So I guess this means that the HO Tar Tanker and the HO Cattle Wagon are being discontinued.

Of course, because we have soooo much rolling stock to begin with. I want more cattle wagons, dont have any tankers, and need a new toby and havent even gotten henrietta, good thing im going to a hobby show this weekend... This is going to be an  expensive weekend

Yeah, good thing I got a model of Bear last year along with D261/The Diesel in which Bear was discontinued at the time!
I really wish they would bring back more great stuff like the Circus trucks and the Flying Scotsman... FS looks so cool... even if he does have Gordon's face, it makes sense since he's a brother/twin of his...

FedEx just delivered a TAR wagon and an old style OIL wagon from wholesaletrains.com - I now have all I need.

I saw the 2012 catalog, Hennrieta was in there so yeah....

I wish so many items wouldn't be getting discontinued or changed. It's making my head dizzy trying to get discontinued items and old style items.  I know there is eBay and Amazon, but still. I wish there was a dizzy faced icon.

Dear All,
The Tar Wagon is not in the 2012 catalog, so get one where/ while you can.
Have fun!

What a shame At least there is eBay and Amazon (as just stated), or things like the Great Train Expo

I recently purchased one here: http://www.wholesaletrains.com/Detail.asp?Scale=HO&Item=160Thomas&offset=50&ID=200411467
They also have the original version of the Oil tanker
