Hello All, can anyone provide me with a set of side and end walkway railings for the Bachmann RS-3 diesel locos?  Failing that, can anyone point out a source for them? Bachmann no longer has any left in stock!  Thanks, Patrick in Columbus.

I was interested in this engine, so looked at the listing. Bachmann product number 51701 is for the 2-6-0 in PRR markings and carries engine number 3234.  That is curious since the Bachmann product number 50645, USRA 0-6-0 carries exactly the same engine number 3234.  What's the explaination for both engines having the same number? Both were in service at the same time.  Thanks,  Pat H.

I've noticed that Bachmann is releasing a series of PRR GG-1 locos later this year but all are in DCC ready configuration with a large price tag of over $400.  Some of us with smaller or simpler layouts would love to add those GG-1 engines but the price throws us off. Will there be a DC or other lesser price edition of the GG-1 engines?

Second is that on the PRR, one of the primary workhorses was the L-1 class 2-8-2 Mikados. But other than the Mikado offered by Marklin, the only Mikados on the market are the L-2 light Mikado, of which the PRR only had 5.  May we expect to see a nice DC and/or DCC ready L-1 Mikado in the near future?

Thanks for your response.
