You're right, but look again at the first post. It said that Ken, the photographer, shot the new Bachmann N scale something with sound, which has not been photographed yet officially.
Unless they are reintroducing their former shorty passenger cars most likely going to end up being some big honking something I can't use. And most likely going to be an expensive whatever. Looking at the prices that their freight cars have crept up to you would think that they have platinum underframes.
From the Bachmann Forum - "Now that we have the Berkshire when can we expect the sound SD45?" Yardmaster - "Later this year..."
Hopefully it will turn out to be something new for N, not just a remake of something that already exists. That would be cool.
Nice teaser indeed, but whatever it might turn out to be you can count on the price beating anything else out on the market equipped the same.
Well I think prices for ANYTHING made in China are going to keep going up and up. Tough price to pay for us. Considering all things China was cheap not long ago. As for what it will be? Probably a new diesel. Hopefully it works great and comes in a myriad of road names. . Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
Hmm…Only 27 ever built. Run by only 4 Eastern & Mid-West roads. Doesn't sound like it would be a big seller.
I know. But the foobie market is out there, along with the freelancers. Seems like it's time for something completely different these days.
Well they could also do the C636 since it is about the last big Alco that hasn't been done except by Concor. And that was an almost total lemon and scale wise too small. Poor pick-up and breaking solder joints on the lousy wire to the trucks. There were at least a few more of them than the RS-27, about 63 and more when the Canadian variant is counted at a listed 111.
Heavy Mountain (4-8-2) C&O with long vandy oil tender D&RGW with long coal tender (known as Western Class) Illinois Central with long coal tender Norfolk Western with long coal tender Don't ask how I know...
Hmmmmmmmmmm! The PRR M1a was a 4-8-2 Mountain. After BLI sat on it for ten years I'd love to see Bachmann steal BLI's thunder. I will go out on a limb and predict a new line of track in both C80 and C55 with prototypical tie spacing will be announced by Bachmann. How do I know? I don't but the idea has been bugging me for some reason so I am throwing it out there. Who knows I might be right and everyone will think of me as the new N scale guru. Then all I have to do is come up with a second stunt. I know, the new Bachman PRR M1a Mountain locomotive will be shown running on the new track. I think I might have over did it. Both of them are over the top individually and collectively even more so.
How many roads ran the Erie-Built? How many did FM cause GE to build? Try to find one out there. The public snapped them up , quickly. I saw a few KCS, or something, at shows for a while after they appeared, but then, even they vanished. I suppose that it did not hurt that All Tramps Sent Free ran them, so LL issued them. ATSF sells. NYCS ran them, as well. NYCS, according to the experts, is a "first tier road", especially when it comes to Lightning Stripes. ........then, there is that certain "third tier road" that ran them, as well..............
If it is the SD45, that's not new. It's listed in the 2015 catalog which has been out for months. Jason
I hope, and think it will be, a Pacific. No one has made any type of 4-6-2 in years, with the exception of Model Power, and even those are rare. But then which style? Like Pennsy ran with the Bel Paire (spelling?) firebox, or more a general run of them, or closer to what Southern ran. A heavy Pacific or a light? Either way I would just like to see some of these come out soon.
