Any update on when this will be available?

guess not

Dear All,
We were unhappy with the paint, so we refused the run. They are being redone again for spring delivery.
Sorry, but we want it to be right!
Have fun!

ugh,  I have been waiting a year for the B&M version,  last year the minuteman herald was out of scale and now the color is off,  hope springs eternal!

[genetk44]

Well its spring....any news about the Boston&Maine RS3 model??? Will we see it anytime soon?

I went with the P2K RS-2.   Added a decoder.   It is a sweet runner.   Bachmann still lists the B&M RS-3 but I think its just lack of updating.  The B&M classic maroon and gold with minuteman herald is my all-time favorite livery.  I put DCC in my fleet of E-7, FTs, BL-2, SW1500 and now working on steamers with the the red and gold cursive on the tender.

Dear Mr. Bachmann, Still have room for that RS-3 should you release it.

Any current news on the HO B&M RS-3?

[the Bach-man]

Yes!
They've been approved and will be here soon.
I'll let you know when i get a firm date.
Thanks!

Tell me I was imagining things when I saw the NMRA announcement that the B&M RS-3 will also be available with sound???  Sweeeet

Mr Bach-man yes?

[the Bach-man]

Dear RD,

rich-

I'm confused.t li looks like the Bach-man says you were dreaming but also it looks like
you wanted him to say yes. So will there be sound in the B&M Rs-3 or not???
