bACHMAN K-27

[mackers]

Anykone out here have the authority or knowledge to let us know when the K- 27 will be shipped  Mine has been ordered for two weeks but nobody knew when the shipment day would be...sure would be nice to have an idea ?

[Curmudgeon]

Well, since this engine has been talked about (and not talked about) for several years, TWO WEEKS is not a long time to wait.
Until you get hard and fast word, ANTICIPATE.

And, Thank-You for choosing Bachmann.

 Well Dave since the last time I was at your house with my son and all smoking cigars in Kirkland, we were talking about the engine, and that was several years ago.....good talking to you here.......!! It's a long ways from Huntington Beach down in Surf City.  When you gonna get yours..........if not already  ??

[Curmudgeon]

Soon.
Hopefully before you!
Just so's I can harrass ya!

You gonna trash it?

I can see it now.
Cab hanging off, holes in smokebox (with flickering lights inside), handrails hanging, laundry on the tender.

Dear Mackers,

So, do you know Huntingdon Beach? 

I used to swim there many moons ago when I had a body the chicks leered at instead of laughing at now.

Best Wishes,

Jack

  Yea it wil be changed, but not quite that bad, just enough to look used and make you wish it was  yours........so how about that !!l

Do you know the total length of the piece ?

Do you know the total length of the piece ?

No, I don't have the engine yet and don't know of anyone that does, they are supposedly "on the water now", so I don't know the exact dimentions.     Mac

If 1:20.3 reduction from the prototype, beam-to-beam should be about 33".

If 1:20.3 reduction from the prototype, beam-to-beam should be about 33".

Considering the overall scale length, that would sound on the mark.

I ordered two the other day, and do expect a lengthy wait for them.
Patience, however, is a virgin. 

Dave;
Does anyone have a sound module for these puppies yet for the rather unique sound these engines had.

Phoenix lists one, and I have a Sierra in my K-27.
I like it.

Mac ...

After the awesome job you did on my Bachmann 2-8-0, maybe after you've had one to beat to death, I can talk you into being gentle to mine ....

Rich ....

Mine's going to sound suspiciously like a K-36,  I think ... and hopefully with a slightly raspier whistle...

All:

Let me brag on Mac a bit....



(he takes pretty good pictures of his work too, as you can see!)

 Matt.  I don't see a problem with that, you flatter me but that's ok, it's good for the ego.........Whenever I get my K- 27 and figure out how dirty to make it, I'll take  yours under my wing and make it real..........how's that  ??        Mac
