Thanks again, Don! Well, I see there will be a Mountain lettered Frisco, but unfortunately no Frisco SD45. Oh well, I can deal with it. Break out the paint gun, Clem!! Looking at what the larger scales will get, Bachmann is really gonna get busy in 2003! [ 14. September 2002, 20:52: Message edited by: friscobob ]
How can you do an SD45 and not offer an SP version in the first run?? It's not like we had none. Probably just as well. Means I can afford more tunnel motors now.
I am happy to see bachman making these releases. I can only hope that they will have an improved mechanism.
Did any one else notice that the N SD45's are $5 more than HO ones. The Dash 8's are the same. Oh well, I am still interested to see what these units will be like. Hopefully good. If they at least look good, we can run them to their death and then make dummy units.
