James The Red Engine

While searching Google, I came across a Large Scale James pic.  Sadly his wheels are still gray. :(

Are you ready for Dover Valley's Facelift?

If Bachmann made their LS James like this, then why not the HO one? by that I mean the smokebox, wheels, couplings etc.

It'd take time to reincorporate that design into a smaller scale. Sadly something that can't be done within a few weeks.

I think we got that. It is easy to tell because the axle boxes (?) on the sides of his tender are black, which indicates wheel color change.

I've said that enough to almost wear it out. I wish it would happen, but I guess I'll have to stick with butchering my James.

But the thing is you guys can do that within a day ( Im not a modeler, I have no clue how to do it ) so why cant Bachmann do it within days?

well this is a whole production line, moddelers just have to do one model while bachmann does... idk how many :-[ :D but at least dozens  :P

PasqualeCS96

I know Im juyst sayin....but anyways Ive always wondered how Bachmann makes their trains in the production lines.

Because if I recall correctly, models are designed on computers, and then they have to constantly make sure the prototype is operational, and acceptable by the community. Basically, it's a long process to actually design the product, then get it ready for the Chinese assembly lines.

This is just an assumption though based on how Dapol designed their N Scale "Terrier," and how Heljan is designing their Metropolitan Vicars.

THATS RIGHT! heljans making BoCo's Prototype! still going to get that for BoCo MK2  :)

If I recall correctly dont you already have a BoCo model?
