New Annie Arrival?

[BillBrakeman]

Have I issed something?  It was once announced that the new "Annies" would be here in November, but I o not remember seeing any anouncement that they were here.  Also, the on-line dealers do not seem to be listing them as being on line.

Are they here or when is the current ETA?

The new Ten Wheelers arrived a couple of weeks ago. The dealers should be receiving them.

  Thank you for the reply.

A new version 6 Annie should arrive today if all goes well.  UPS has been busy these last few days.  Can't wait to get inside the 10-Wheeler to check out the new drive train.

Hey mike have you taken yours apart yet, what does it look like inside?

[Mike M]

I have taken mine apart it looks the same except the gears are brass the setup is the same I did add 1lb more on weights while I was inside it
Runs well. A local train display which is near Philly has been running them for the past month about 12 hours a day pulling at leats 6 cars with no signs of wear I opened one of these and I saw no wear on the gears.

Thanks Mike, I didn't realize all the gears were metal,  I thought only the main drive gear was to be metal.

on the earlier Annies?
Thanks, Lucy
