This is one of those engines that I am really surprised we haven't seen in either diecast or plastic. It would make a great candidate. I got to see the three preserved ones this past summer and they a

actually, it is not generic. It is "Russian" which was originally meant for use in Russia. When they did not go to Russia, they ended up being used a number of Railroads in the U.S.. Eric --- wb7ffi <

Just a FYI: BLI has posted that there N&W J's are shipping now. I wonder how this engine will compare to teh Bachmann J. I though that Bachmann's is okay, but still did not quite capture the correct l

I don't think there are any models of the FEC 4-6-2's. I have lobbied Bachmann for a light pacific based on this engine in hopes that I could use it to model ex FEC 4-6-2 Savannah & Atlanta #750. She

I can't see myself hand laying track, I don't have even close to the patience for that. I am thinking more about switches and dealing with smaller steam engine that go dead on them. Eric _____________

I am buying a new house and plan to build a new layout in about 1 1/2 years. I would like to start buying track now, so that will be something I don't have to worry about later. Any suggestions on wha

I am starting on my Bachmann Bus terminal for my future layout. I am looking for some of the American Precision Model buses that fit into the steam era. Has anyone seen any of these at a hobby shop la

I think when we are talking about duplicatio,we should separate the new stuff and old stuff. the two are not really comparable. With the K4, the Boswer K4 should not really count because it is not up

Speaking of the I1. My bet is that we will see one of these from BLI soon. It seems to be the next logical Pennsy engine to do after the K4, which is due out later this year. Eric ____________________

According to this German website, which seems to be right in the past, Life-Like will be doing a 2-10-2. I can't figure out if this is a USRA 2-10-2 or not. I wish they would do a heavy and light USRA

Did they fix the driver issue in the latest release? I have yet to see on up close. Thanks, Eric __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Friends. Fun. Try the all-new Yahoo! Messenger. http:

Actually they are releasing a Climax and Freight version of the N&W J in 2004. I also wonder about the previously announced upgrade to the SP Gs4. Eric --- "Roger T." <rogertra@...> wrot

I think that for us HO scale steam fans, the Bachmann 2-8-0 changed our part of the hobby. Now we have more steam than we ever dreamed at an affordable price. BLI has made the next big step with sound

Broadway Limited has posted pictures of their upcoming Pennsy M1b and T1 on their website. The M1b looks good and the T1 looks incredible. I can hardly wait to have them both on my layout. http://www.

FYI- The Broadway Limited Imports N&W Class A have showed up on eBay. So it appears that at least one dealer has recieved his. They are listed as "shipping" on the BLI website. Has anyone got theirs y

I like mine very much. It runs a lot like the newer spectrum steam. It is far superior to the old version. Be careful though, I did have a hobby dealer (he is no longer is business) try to sell me one

Thanks for posting those pictures. I didn't realize that Bachmann had those on their web page yet. Hopefully someone will post a list of railroads for which these engines are pretty darn close. I do w

That is the G scale one. The low boiler 4-6-0's are not out yet. The only ones that have hit the market are the high boiler undecorated. Bachmann is not shipping anything right now because they are cl

The one on ebay is a G gauge 4-6-0. You can find a picture of the HO scale 4-6-0 can be seen on peachcreekshops.com Eric --- "maufderheideyfp <maufderheide@...>" <maufderheide@...> wrote: ____

Yes, they do pull well. However, when I compared the time on spent on them vs the cost of low end brass from Sunset and PFM, I found that brass was the better deal. Also, the brass engines look much b
