HO / 44 tonner as CN #1?
June 01, 2013, 05:13:57 AM
Good morning. I found this listing on your website:
http://shop.bachmanntrains.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=258_288_309&products_id=4779

The page describes your HO scale 44 tonner decorated as Canadian National #1. This exact engine was the first diesel here on Prince Edward Island and spent it's first years pulling mixed freight and passenger trains on the Murray Harbor sudivision. I was really excited to see the catalogue reference but dissappointed that there is no picture reference with the listing.

Do you know which colour scheme was planned for the model? The prototype was originally delivered in a simple all-over black scheme but was later re-painted into variations of CN's olive green scheme.

It doesn't appear that the model is in production. Is it a new announcement?

Thanks for considering the model. I am really looking forward to learning more about it's production.

N / Re: Bachmann heavyweight coach still available?

I am particularly interested in the Bachmann cars. To my eyes they make a pretty good stand-in for the MP54 and P54 coaches I really need and will be playing that role on my layout until I can amass a large enough fleet of the correct cars.

I've seen them on ebay but was just wondering if they were in fact still in production.

N / Bachmann heavyweight coach still available?

I'm planning on using these coaches as the backbone of my fleet on my little N scale 1970's commuter railway. I assumed they were still in production but after trolling around on the internet I see perhaps they are not. The cars I am thinking about are similar to the one in this picture on Jerry Laboda's N scale passenger cars site:

Just curious, are these still in production or should I be keeping my eyes open on the used lists?

Thanks
Chris
