Williams by Bachmann / Re: Strasburg Railroad?

The Williams 4-6-0 would be a great candidate for the Strasburg and the Strasburg does have or had 44 Tonner which would also be great.

Charlie Philips was the best source for older Williams parts, unfortunately he passed away a couple months ago. You might try the 0 gauge railroad forum and put a ad in wanted to buy. It's free to join and post.

The WBB Scale GG-1 will run on 042 minumin curves, of course looks better on 054 or wider. I would like a scale version of the as built 4899 paint scheme.

I guess a GP-30 will be close enough for a F-7?  ???

If they do hopefully Bachmann will improve the pantographs, the original Williams pans were very flimsy.

Mr Bach Man, Are there any plans on bringing back the Scale GG1 in the future?

If it's a True Blast 1, I had the same problem and replaced it with a True Blast 2.

You can join the O Gauge RR forum. You can inquire about all O Gauge products. Many helpful people in the forum.

A Fred is the Flashing rear end devise on the rear of a train also known as a ETD End of train devise which replaced the Caboose.

I think they'll bring them back soon possibly with a sound unit. I hope they make the as bulit scheme also known as web stripe but I won't count on it since it probably wasn't a good seller.
Remember there still cataloging the semi scale GG1 and everyone and there cousin is also making them.

Hi Wyatt, The RS3 must have been announced after the 2013 catalog and I was a suprised when I seen your post asking for a ETA on it. I'm going to go with a Seaboard to lash up with my Lionel Seaboard RS3.

I have 2 of the older Williams NYC Scale Hudsons #5205 @ 5207 and run them double headed (they used to include a coupler pilot for double heading) and use them to pull a 14 car string of Lionel NYC Milk Cars. The Scale Hudson are excellent for the price

Williams did have a scale brass New York Central caboose around 1985 in a 4 car set. They were repros of the Pre War Lionel scale cars. And the old Kusan NE Caboose now made by RMT. I agree I would like to see some Cabooses from Southern and Western roads but if you consider the tooling costs I doubt is any manufacture would do it.
