Sad to hear they have no plans for another run ! Hard to find these days!

Is there a reason the BACHMAN never actually responds? Pretty irritating ! Not like I expect a rapid response , but at some point , it sure would be nice!

Have you inquired with Bachmann on when they might be doing a new run? I sure haven't had any luck with getting responses from them since a new run of both 44 & 70 tonner's would be nice since they are unavailable? I'm not sure why they are so lazy to not respond to people , after all aren't they in business to actually sell things? The Bachman seems to not care for several years on this , not a new thing !

Might it be this one ?  https://estore.bachmanntrains.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=70_711&products_id=10954

I'm trying to buy some parts like shells and there is a 1 of any part limitation? I not only want more than one of some parts , but really don't want to pay more in shipping than parts cost either !

I really like the long nose with notches ! A 4 axle (RS-32?) version would be nice too !

Any idea when a new run of the 44 tonners will be produced? Hard to find these days !

How many other's would be willing to buy locomotives and train cars in kit form , if it saved money? Think of the old Athern HO scale blue box kits.

A new run of 44 tonners !

Here's a link to many good pics , even , with the shells off and a assesment of the loco.

Or consider having a crossing on the other side , give the road a place to go!

Have you ever seen the cars Hallmark sells for ornaments? With a set of micro trains trucks , they could make a fine car for that , if you want let me know & I'll take pics for you. I bought a bunch a while back with that thought in mind.
