Dear U,
Please call the service department. They'll have information regarding price and availability.
Have fun!

Dear HOplasser,
Yes, it can. Have fun!

Dear FWD,
That was my point as well. The loco came in many boxes over the years, and it's hard to tell which of the two you mention is older. I'd still suggest getting the new one.
Have fun!

Dear Duke,
Presumably every Bachmann dealer will be able to carry it. Order it from your favorite.
Have fun!

Dear Jim,
I'm working on that as well.
Have fun!

Dear Bear,
I doubt it. To allow for On30 height on the display layout resulted in a very steep grade. See the construction photos for details.
As for a trestle set, most On30 modelers would not be interested. I find narrow gauge modelers to be the most fastidious subset of railroad modelers in terms of detail and realism, and the pier set would have limited appeal, I think.
Have fun!

Dear Trains Again,
Exactly what I said last time: not a likely candidate for mass production.
Have fun,

Dear OV,
Happens every year. I'll see what I'm allowed to post...
Have fun!

Dear FWD,
The newest version, in a long blue box, is by far the best.
Have fun!

Dear Tiger,
I always suggest two sets and some shims for exactly the reason you point out. I'll mention this issue to product development as well.
Thanks!

Dear Rich,
None has been announced, so keep working...
Have fun!

Dear Psycho,
There is a scored line under the roadbed to make the trimming easy.
Have fun!

Dear All,
I'm not sure if it will be possible to access the older posts as an archive, but I've made the request.
Have fun!

Dear All,
I have indeed removed the stars and ranks. Everyone has one star and is a member. If you misbehave, you'll be gone. As Scotty says, we had some people posting for the sake of numbers, presumably to get to the next level. Well, there is no longer a next level, so there's no need to post promiscuously.
Have fun!
the Bach-man

Hey, Dave!
Hurry up, willya?
Heh, heh, heh...
Great to see you and Kyle at Springfield!
When are you going to stop at the Bach-cave on your way home?
