    I do have a question. How do you count rivets in Nano scale?
    Now, maybe the technawledgie has changed...but last time I had (and ran) N was...72 or 73.
    Heck, even then with 20/10 I couldn't see enough to count rivets.

    Folks picking on Botchman? Really? Never happened, in the history of the Universe.

    Atomic Force Microscopy. Of course, since that is destructive, you have to purchase two of the items!

    Apart from just not needing any more diesels at the present, I still don't trust Bmann's diesel offerings because of several DCC 'dual mode' duds (my 44 tonner runs great, but I have an RS3 that I had to strip the decoder out of before it'd run, and wound up returning two sets of F7s in favor of other brands that gave me fewer headaches). On the other hand, I have nothing but praise for their steam ever since they came out with the Spectrum 2-8-0. The two I have are on par with my Kato engines- quiet, smooth, and slow. If the new model is a steamer, and something I can find a niche for, I'll probably pick one up. I still wish I had room in my budget for the EM-1 and the Berkshire.

    Gee, is it possible that they will rework the 4-8-4 into a better quality runner? That would be nice.. But many of us have been looking for HUDSON and PACIFIC'S for so long now . Could they?????? Na...... That would be to dreamy....

    Nope. Hit my head to many times under my layout maybe? Or maybe my brain has malfunctioned due to the mayhem I have been causing lately.
    I bet it will be a diesel though. However, I did kinda think it could be a mike......

    It is August already? Where has the time gone? Hmm Oregon. Okay It is the SP&S 700. But then they already make a Shay , Heisler and Climax, so maybe one of those in N scale.

    It's going to be the EMDALCOGEBALDWIN 400acw-9-t2-vo 1,000,000-ba1.

    In other words,, it's all vapor ware till there is some sort of proof,,, and saying that my sister in laws brother who is married to girl that cleans the bathrooms at the building next to B mann saw through a window,,, is not sufficient.

    How bout a RS-27,, that would be cool.

    I have it on good authority that so far, no one here knows for sure what Bachmann is up to. If the core competencies of the speculators would even coincide, we may be able to action the key predictors for a more relevant consistent agreement of stakeholders going forward. .........Huh? Well, just saying.
