Across the Pond

I would just like to point out that the fact that Bachmann won't make 009 Thomas characters does not preclude them producing non-Thomas 009 models. Anthony P2 never specified 009 Thomas models, he merely asked if Bachmann would be manufacturing 009 models of any kind. (We need a fire-extinguisher emoticon).

Nope, no 009 (HOn30 in America). Period.

Bachmann Branchlines, on the other hand, are a different story. Bachmann do sell HOe items as part of their Lilliput range, and if they were to choose a common loco, ie a Quarry Hunslet, they could certainly shift enough models to make it financially viable.

As I've said before, if you want them, there are kits. Failing that, scratchbuilding

Well, I was including Bachmann Branchlines. And like I said, I'm pretty sure Anthony meant 009 in general.

i seem to have noticed that bachmann doesn't like narrow guages... other than on30, not gonna happen why? not popular enough!
