I'm glad you like my idea. 

Dear Mr. Bachmann,

I noticed some of your On30 products are being made in the large scale line, too. Would it be possible to make a large scale model of the railbus you made in On30?

Sincerely,

Trainguy111

I am aware of the gauge of standard gauge 1:20.3. And here are some diesels and electrics I want to see in that scale.

And 2 other steam engines

I know there is no market right now for engines of this scale, but if given the chance, this could be the ultimate scale for G/F scale modellers.

I think its high time Bachmann made 1:20.3 standard gauge models. Here is a list of steam engines I want. I'll include diesels and electrics later.

Whew! That's it for now. There are lots of others i want, but I'll leave it to you to make your own wishlists.

Bachmann should make the D&RGW C-16 2-8-0, preferably the 268 in its bumble bee paint sceme. This is due to the fact that Accucraft's models are expensive and hard to find.

Here we can talk about Bachmann products we would like to see remade. For example, I would love to see the 2-4-2 again. Especially in this paint sceme: http://hawkinsrails.net/lagniappe/hesston/hesston242a.jpg

Well we are all proud you have come to that decision.

Not a problem. After all, Casey Junior is more tolerateable then chuggington. Did I mention i plan to make my own fan series using G scale Items? It will be called Narrow Gauge Engines.

More great ideas for Gauge 3/G64 or any other g scale standard gauge!

I've been thinking and I've decided that Chuggington is not the best. Too many diesels and too much stretchyness.

Gauge 3 and G64 are the same!!!

If they decide to do gauge 3, here is a excellent idea:

And here is something for Gn3, too.

Sorry, but it's not going to happen, probally bot even in HO/OO. I mean they didin't even have a five year anniversery or original writer who grew up in Britain. Thomas has a 65 year anniversay and the Reverand Wilbert Awdry was the original writer before his book series was to be a TV series along with movies, and products. Chuggington only has five minute runtime episodes and stupid die-cast models that can't even connect with Take-Along Thomas. UP WITH THOMAS!!! DOWN WITH CHUGGINGTON!!!

NO!!!!!!!!!!!! UP WITH BOTH!!!!!

Fergus!!!! I want Fergus!!!!

KFC!!!!  I want KFC!!!!

KFC is not a character. If he/she is, then I'm a monkey's uncle.

They can be made in HO, too. But i want bachmann to give Gauge 3 a try. they might start a new trend.
