 Is there any chance that Bachmann will produce a set of logging buggies, bogies, trucks or whatever they may be called..? Seems that after the massive investment that Bachmann has made in it's fine looking, and smooth running logging models that a natural and obvious companion would be the logging trucks that carry the logs...seems that EBAY offers some very nicely detailed (smaller scaled) LGB models of these trucks at an insanely high premium, as well as American Models logging cars which also carry a hefty price tag.
  If Bachamnn could produce such products at an affordable price they would more than likely increase sales in a somewhat sluggish market.

Justin, do you mean disconnects? LGB sold them in sets of six or in sets of four with logs, they were actually reasonably priced, perhaps now since they are out of print;-), the price went up... AMS makes such disconnects too. Another style of such logging disconnects would always be welcome. But what is still really missing is a cute logging caboose with some kind of Carter trucks. For example WSL #5. The trucks could then be used on disconnects and other logging stuff. Speaking of cabooses, how about an EBT caboose in a range of versions and colours? The hoppers are already there... Best wishes, Zubi
