Did anyone else get excited when they found the TrainWorld ad in the August 2007 issue of Garden Railways? The ad says "New! #82194 Spectrum 35 ton 2-truck Shay" but shows the photo of the smaller On30 Shay (yes the tiny print says "Actual Product not shown").
I got a call from a friend asking if I was ordering one. I pulled the ad and got excited! Maybe Bachmann was going to release a new, smaller Shay not a bigger one. Sure would be great to have a 12-18 ton Baby Shay!!!
Well, checking the Part # on the Bachmann site, did not work (that day). And closer review, the number and wording, points to maybe a new road name on the existing model series.
To bad TW did not use a photo for that model of Shay, instead of teasing us with the smaller size Shay photo, using the On30 Shay picture.
So guess we won't be seeing a small Baby Shay coming out soon, that would be a Fn3 version of the On30 little Shay... or maybe this is a hint or opening lead for Bachmann to now consider one?
