2012 Large Scale Product Wish List

[Ted Yarbrough]

A 1:20 scale mogul might be small enough to use with 1:22 also! Good idea!

[Ron Tremblay]

I just hope they all come with plug and play.             

Regards,Ron

A decently priced turntable.....

[Rio Garden]

MAKE MY DAY!  How about a 1.20.3 Rio grande "SILVER VISTA" ??   I'm still waiting and I bet the Rio fans are too.  Your "k" was, and this may be the next star of the rails?

[Don Gilham]

How about a Connie with a metal gearbox, like the Annie now has?

Hear Hear !  !!  !!

Better still a simple replacement chassis with metal gears for the Connie  so that those of us with stripped gear Connies can get them working again.

You see, I still think that the Connie is the best model that Bachmann has produced.

[Loco Bill Canelos]

The Northwest Short line gear replacement for your Connie is a cheap fix at about $12 bucks, and so far have proven to be very durable with a much thicker web. The thin web on the original gear is what is breaking on the Connies.  It is an easy fix.  A whole new chassis with metal gears would almost as expensive as a whole new loco!!

I too, would love to have a "Silver Vista" along with a good sized turntable that can handle the K's

As for the Connie gear problem, get a BBT drive and forget about any problems.

If Bacchy is reading this, a covered grain hopper ( in 1:20.3) would be nice ?

[Joe Satnik]

Dear All,

".....a covered grain hopper ( in 1:20.3)"

Not sure putting up a link to different forum is kosher here...

So... use your favorite search engine on the term ' covered grain hopper "narrow gauge" '

If you see hminky's answer, you've found the thread I'm thinking of. 

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Joe Satnik
