These are the same 60ft cars that Bachmann modelled years ago. I wish they were 60ft open platform, but I would still be interested if Atlas were...
Dear Kato... how about some love for New England? Phase V F3's (like the F3's used by B&M and somewhat by MEC which had low 36" fans and slot...
Umm... I guess I'm just wondering if that horse will be led to water just one last time before it's beat completely to death. Since I model the...
I personally dislike the pre-order system, unless it is something special and the manufacturer wants to make sure the market is there. These...
As I said, the company I worked for had a major global presence and a huge portion of our business was online (the bulk of our train sales). I...
Well I can only speak to what I witnessed over a decade of experience in both brick and mortar and online hobby retail, most of it centered around...
I can't remember if I replied to this thread already or not. Regardless, something happened last night that brought this thread to mind. I'm...
I want to support the project but I do the whole east coast thing so Frisco isn't really my thing, at this point I'm in for one set. I'm...
I can see it from both angles. Rivet counters are likely the reason we have so many different locomotive and rolling stock choices these days and...
Walthers has been pretty short sighted when it comes to N scale. They seem like they would rather sell a handful of super-high end locomotives...
I'm willing to go with the "close enough" approach. A recent example would be Bachmann's B&M NE caboose, which is steel. All of my research...
It would be nice to see a McGinnis B&M F2 A\B set, if they do decide to do an eastern road. The colors are flashy and unique so it seems like...
You should have held on to them, apparently they are worth quite a bit in Canada. I'm not going to lie, I really get into the vintage stuff...
Of course I don't mind the 2-axle trucks, B&M had a largely 2-axle heavy weight fleet but I do see where that would effect people operating other...
That heavyweight coach is the exception to the Bachmann pricing rule and I suspect the price is that way because they have no real commitment to...

My first N scale stuff was Bachmann, not during the 1970s, but the locomotive was an F9 which hadn't significantly changed for years. It ran...
Everyone "wants" change, but everyone also "wants" to keep what they know. The problem is just going to get worse.
Bachmann has turned out some really nice stuff recently, if you aren't into rivet counting. It will be interesting to see how a price increase...
Shipping is only really a concern if they buy only one car. If an e-tailer saves me $5/car (which is common) then buying as few as two cars will...
