Magazine article about Bachmann

[ebtbob]

Good Morning All,

       The October/November issue of O Gauge Railroading Magazine is now available.  It is a special issue - Exploring O Scale Narrow Gauge.   The cover story is about a visit the magazine made to Bachmann Trains.   It is worth the reading,  delving into the Bachmann role as a manufacturer,  time lines for new products,  etc.

Thanks for the kind comments, Bob.  Although we won't be covering O scale narrow gauge in quite this depth in upcoming issues--until we have enough interest and material for another "special" that is--we will be giving regular attention to  O scale narrow gauge as events warrant.

I'll have a review of the new Bachmann Rail Bus in the Jan. issue, as well as (perhaps) one more layout feature if it materializes in time.

I see narrow gauge--and On30 in particular--as a real growth area in the overall world of O gauge and O scale.  I intend to give it a proper amount of attention, especially since a narrow gauge line makes a fine and appropriate addition to a good many "conventional" O gauge and O scale layouts.

Thanks for the heads up fella's.

Dear All,
I got my copy today- great issue! I always look forward to this magazine. Each issue is well worth reading.
Have fun!

I've taken a good bit of heat from some of our own OGR forum members for devoting a significant part of our Oct. issue to O scale narrow gauge, but I do hope that at least some folks who read here have enjoyed that issue, even if they're not regular subscribers.  You can find the magazine at many bookstores (B&N, for example) and hobby shops.

I've learned that there are two definitions of "narrow minded":

1.  Those of us who enjoy narrow gauge railroading and refer to ourselves knowingly and in good humor as "narrow minded."

2.  Those hobbyists who are narrow minded--rather sadly, in my opinion--in the conventional sense of the term.

John,

I just happen to have an extra copy or two of that issue (since my layout is in it).  Send me an email and I will send you a copy, gratis.
