Dear Mr. Bachmann:


The MARIE. E.

The Little Hauler 0-4-0

I notice that there is somewhat of a similarity. A backdated 1800's styled Little Hauler might help to sell this mold if released again. Remove the cast plastic bell and add piston rods. Locate the smoke stack in line with the steam chest.

I would buy a few 1800's style engines. I like the 1:22.5 and 1:24 scale.

I disposed of all my 1:20.3 locos except for one. The 1:20.3 detail is fantastic but I just do not like the large size of the models. A 1:29 scale 4-4-0 V&T with the detail level of the 1:20.3 4-4-0 would be great.

Any of my future Bachmann product purchases will have to be at the 1:22.5 scale.
