Got my first train, 027 Lionel for Christmas in 1944 at age of 5.
Since then, I have modeled in S gauge, TT gauge, HO gauge, N gauge and ON30 gauge.
Currently model in N, HO and ON30.
I have always had a fascination with anything rr.
Especially steam locomotives, such as Maryland and Pennsylvania steam.
Have lived 49 years within sight of NorfolkSouthern.
Do a lot of scratch building.

if anyone might be interested.

I wish to thank Bachmann for the ON30 Climax and Shay replacement gears I received today. I appreciate your excellent service.

Mr. Bachmann
When are we going to see the 29901 ON30 archbar trucks available again?
These are a very popular item and makes a person wonder why Bachmann
doesn't make an effort to keep them in stock.

Thanks Dwayne, for information.

Just completed building ET & WNC #503 caboose, awaiting painting.
Am presently working on  #203 bobber.
Can anyone tell me what the ET & WNC caboose colors were around 1900-30?
BTW ON30.

(Ma and Pa), Maryland and Pennsylvania RR pre 1925.

Thanks Bach-man!

What is the part number for the new Bachmann ON30 Heisler?

Attn: Mr. BachMann
Wondering when the ON30 29901 Arch Bar Freight Trucks are going to be available again?
I have had an order for 3 pair of these on B/O since last September.

I have ordered from this business for many years, excellent service.

Read in review article http://www.visi.com/~spookshow/loco/spec460.html
that the Bachmann 4-6-0 is supposively copied from the Maryland & Pennsylvania #28.  If so the bell is placed at the wrong place. Should be between steam dome and steam generator insted of steam dome and sand dome. Other then this discrepancy model is very close to Ma & Pa #28. Sorry can't say same for tender.
Bachmann don't take my criticism wrong, I very much appreciate your making this model. I have two and am planning on purchasing two more. Thanks!

Measured driver on 4-6-0 today (and if I read correctly) dimension was .368 which figures to be around 59" in N scale. Seems rather odd size.

Still wondering about the driver size of the N scale 4-6-0?

Attn: Mr. Bach-man
Wondering size of driver wheels (50" or 56") on the scheduled 4-6-0 to be released soon?
