how do you physically change the whistle designation using the EZ control and a piece of track and the EZ 4-4-0????

Both my Jupiter and 119 run perfectly right out of the package.  No issues.  Run very well at super low speeds.  No complaints.  :)

Does anyone know if the on board sound system can be modified with different whistle sounds etc???  If so how do I go about doing that?

Will we be able to buy a W&ARR General in the new tooling?  That Texas just screams for it's counterpart locomotive.   :)

Large / Upcoming 2-6-0s

Any production sample photos of the new 2-6-0's that are supposed to release in December?  I'm particularly interested in the Grizzly Flats Emma Nevada!  :)

Okay I'm starting to warm up to these more.  The wood and coal loads rock!!! Loving the new driver wheels.   The larger wheels on the Penn Tender also rock!  I didn't notice that until now.    :)

Wow that new Bachmann 4-4-0 pilot coupler pocket is absolutely horrific.  Love the open cab,  but I'd lose those icky moulded plastic windows.    Bell is an improvement.  I am feeling neutral over the old design.  some good changes some bad changes and a few changes that should have been made that weren't.   I think Bachmann should market these with a choice of sand domes/steam domes styles, and 3 smokestack styles right in the packaging.  Atlas did their undecorated version of the 4-4-0 this way in N-scale and the choice of smokestacks is really well received.    Maybe offer a couple undecorated locos with these options.  This would greatly cater to the kit bashers.

Anyone have pics of the new tooled HO scale 4-4-0s from the convention?   I had assumed Bachmann would post photos of the production samples by now.  :)

Thank you sir.  It's been a labor of love.  :)

Added the large bolts/nuts to the caboose sides,   added the center pilot supports on the loco and took a couple more pics with the wood load and crew for fun. 

Dave :)

Bach-Man!!!  When will be get to see a G Scale Jackson & Sharp Excursion Car???  All the various Garden Railway fan sites out there are chomping at the bit for one.  This would liven up many many Large scale layouts around the globe.  :)
