I like how we got to see the product thru this web page!

Usually we have to wait for some one to go to the show!

Looks like a nice engine.

Thanks
Sean

Dear Yardmaster,

Is pic no. 4 a view of the rear coupler ? Looks like it has to move side-to-side, eh ? Does the front coupler move side-to-side, too ?

Best Wishes,

Jack

The front coupler moves side to side but is sprung like a traditional knuckle coupler.

Beautiful!

Thanks for resurrecting this cutey.

I've had one on order since November and look forward to it's arrival soon. Time to order the sound decoder so we are ready to rock and roll.

Peter.

Just to confirm that the smoke stack will be black and not silver as shown in the catalog for 91197/91198 ? (looks better black IMO)

Yes.

Dear Mr Bachmann:

Any chance of a follow up 2-4-4 loco based on this 2-4-2 drive to model a WW&F #7 style loco of the physical size and price range of the Indy loco?

The latest 1:20.3 Forney is too large a scale model for my use and basically too pricey for a plastic model. The 1:20.3 Forney is not a brass model!

Your K-27 on the other hand is an excellent dollar value. Best value on the large scale market. But unfortunately the K-27 is too large for my use. Maybe I could later buy one for use as a shelf model.

WW&F # 7 loco

Thank you

Attractive little beastie but right now she's beyond my bank

Hope Yardmaster does not mind , Bachmann Europe had the new 2-4-2 on display at a show yesterday. Thought I would share the pics !

Thanks for the Pics!!
