Awesome! Have you already decided what liveries the S70's will be in? If you haven't, I would love to see a UTA Trax variant.

[Trainman203]

How about a new steam engine?  Especially a reissue of the Russian decapod EXACTLY like it was as a full Spectrum product with separate details BUT with a full featured  Soundtraxx  Econami DCC decoder.  In all the old road names PLUS Missouri Pacific AND undecorated! THAT would be a truly EXCITING new product announcement! 😎💥🔥☄️🌪⚡️😎

Wrong scale, wrong gauge, wrong era.

When are you ever going to stop passing an 0-6-0 off as a 'Prairie' by slapping front and rear trucks on it, and do a real 2-6-2 with DCC or DCC & Sound, and no smoke?

It’s entry level stuff, Len. I just don’t pay any attention.

Many have no idea that Bachmann sells a lot on the other side of the Pond, not only in the USA.

Are there any train awvr models?

[Levipettis97]

I have a suggestion for a new train if you can get the license. If you can get the rights to obtain the Transformers license, you should make a Astrotrain with a tender! You could also give him the cars he had in one the original episodes from the show. You could also use the same mold, modify it a bit and make it into a Hiro for the Thomas line. I think this could get you more popular than you already are, since currently there are no official Astrotrain model for any scale.

The caboose from the Tyco HO set definitely tried to go for that...well kinda...almost...not quite.

Well. All this announcement means for me is....




MORE TRAINS TO BUY!!!

[Trainman203]

Quentin, I have a 40’ long layout with 20 switches that can handle 3 or 4 engines and about 30 cars at one time.  At 80 some odd steam engines, 20 some odd diesels, around 600 freight cars and 20 passenger cars ..... I finally turned off the faucet and said “no more.”   

That said, I’m planning on getting the Frisco decapod 1624 later this year.  It really doesn’t matter that I already have 1630 and 1632.  I yelled at the Bach Man so many times to bring the decapod back, I feel honor bound to buy one.
