What does Lionel has to do with Bachmann and  O scale Lionel is still over priced for my budget.

Why I collect HO and Large scale and boxed my old Lionel up years ago.

Stephen,
What does Athearn, Lifelike, Model Power, etc. have to do with Bachmann?
I don't see you complaining when those companies are mentioned.
Or was your comment just meant to rag on other board users?
I have both Lionel and Bachmann on my layout.

Hi Terry,

Not to rag no one but when most of those other companies are mentioned most are asking for help and not advertising new products or showing kitbashes ect. Not Advertising new models with prices and links to other manufactors websites.

If Bachmann made O-27 3 rail products, I could understand your concern, but they don't.
Mentioning the 3 rail stuff isn't going to affect Bachmann's sales. Especially since some "model railroaders" view the 3 rail stuff as toys.
