Rio Grande items?

[Ted Yarbrough]

Mr. Bachmann,
Why no images of the 'New' Annie in Bumble-Bee (especially if it is same as old version)? Also, why no image of the caboose (if it is ame as old versions offered in sets)? There are TWO Rio Grande bobbers listed in catalogue (one Rio Grande and other Rio Grande Western)?
I sure would like to see some new paint schemes for the Rio Grande offered in the Annie and the 1:22.5 scale passenger cars. Maybe a simple black with silver boiler white 'Flying Grande' logo in the Annie and green passenger cars. It sure seems that these items would give Bachmann a new offering at little investment. Maybe even a special set for the Rio Grande  like the Colorado & Southern or Southern RR sets offered years ago. Anyway, you have great products, so do not forget us 1:22.5 scale modelers PLEASE!
Happy Rails To You,
Ted

Alas, I think 1:22.5 has been forgoten.   You are so right about some new paint schemes.  It would also help if Bachmann would change the car number and loco number when doing reruns.  How about a plug and play version of the annie which would use tyhe Aristo Revolution.  Bachmann uses Aritso to distribute products in other countries, why not collaborate on a socket for the REvo as well!!

The new 2-4-2 and Indy in the Bi8g hauler class helps a little, but...........

Ah wishful thinking.
