Bachmann, what in the h*** were you thinking???

[the Bach-man]

Dear Dusten,
No worries!  The ten wheeler has been in the works for years- my only frustration was knowing and keeping the secret! Mr. Riley plans projects years in advance, so we can bring out new items year after year.
Remember, no matter what we announce, some folks will be happy, others not. The good news is lots of folks like the 4-4-0, and if you don't, you don't have to buy one! The challenge is keeping a mix that pleases lots of people, and, hopefully, we will.
Have fun!
the Bach-man

   Funny thing is, I've been Harold untold number of times, not Howard....

   Another funny thing, I find any new on30 product a joy, considering we on30 modelers are a teeny, tiny part of the hobby....must be something about the glass being half full.....

   Anyway, I can hardly wait for 'em all....

Howard, not Harold, but an admirer of Harold's work!

i do not mind that bachmann is making the new 4-4-0 is just wanted to say as long as they make a little bit for everyone i am happy. yes i probably will not get the new 4-4-0 but i might get an engine other people do not like.

I know bachman is one of the few companies that i know have a forum like this so they can hear what people want them to come out with.

maybe a lot of this forum was because the engine just appeared out of nowhere with out anyone know much background knowledge of it. Maybe (and bachman does not have to do this but it can help from causing post like this to show up) it might be good to let people know a little about what is coming out before hand just so they know they are not just going to make one kind of loco. Let them know that at least this is in the works but this is going to come out before they come out with that.

If i ******* anyone off i did not mean it. I just wanted my thought to be said about the new locomotive.

Wow - You are one scary gent, Mr. Bach-man - the much loved prototype for the ET&WNC folks will be appearing in the familiar boxes sooner than even I anticipated!  Well, the fact is that the Bachmann team is still doing well - something for just about everyone.  I hope these also sell well.  I would guess some of the WP&Y folks will be interested, although the pair of ex ET&WNC 4-6-0s were only in service briefly before being damaged in the Whitehorse, YT engine house fire.  Again, free lancers should be very happy.

Haha . I think the Black River is shallow enough for me to get her out if I do. Color on the engine's are going to be a gator kind of green with black roof top and boiler. She should look great.
