Thanks for the heads up Stan. Cheers.

Didn't Bachmann announce a 4 car set of different numbered 1:20.3 Gramps tank cars?

If still available, what url to find info?

Murray

Thank you sir!

Mr Bachman, is it possible to install the B'mann 55 ton Shay DCC/ Sound system into
a Bachmann 38 ton 2 truck Shay?

I got my catalogue today and thought the same thing. Here's hoping.

Dear Bach-man:

I'd suggest the next DCC/Sound motive power be the re-release of the Spectrum Heisler.

Cypress Hills Murray

Thanks.

Is there anyone manufacturing pre-cast loads for theB'mann side dumping ore cars?

Yes, I know I can make my own load, but that's not the question.

If you can give me a heads up, please post it on this list.

Thank you in advance.

What is the length of the 8xxxx series Bachmann Heislers. End frame to end frame please?

Cypress Hills Murray

Thanks K.

 Duuooh! Slapping myself upside the head.

Thanks Jerry, I should have spotted that but didn't. Cheers.

Mr. Bachmann:

I think the new coupler lift bar on the 8000 series flat car, and I assume the others as well, is a great idea.

If I wanted to employ Kadee Ga. 1 coupler instead of the present one, can you recommend which Kadee coupler I can use?

Is there any chance the uncoupling lever can be jerry rigged to fit to the Kadee Ga. 1 coupler?

Cypress Hills

Mr. Bachmann:

The new Bachmann 8000 series of rolling stock inFn3 scale caution their minimum turning radius is 8'.

These cars have the body mount Bachmann coupler with the clever trip lever.

If one were to substitue the other coupler that comes with the boxcar, flatcar, what have you, the one that's mounted to the trucks, will this change the turning radius to less than 8 feet?

Thanks. Will order mine shortly.

I have a 3 truck Shay, the West Side edition.

Are the orang livery silk screened?

How can I remove the livery?

What's the previous success been like?
