Dear Bachmann,
Any updates on the 'NEW' 4-6-0? It is near the end of 2019, so maybe something is in the works for early 2020?
Happy Rails To You,
Ted

Dear Bachmann,
Any updates on the 'NEW' 4-6-0? It is now 2020, so maybe something is in the works. Maybe the 2020 new releases will feature the loco again!
Happy Rails To You,

Guessing maybe 2020?  Any news, pics, mockips?

[tedyarbrough]

Chastity,
The 2020 catalogue has it listed with a suggested price. That is more than the 2019 offered. I am hopeful. I did start a new thread regarding the 2020 version of the 4-6-0. Hopefully, we will get more info and photos, and release date soon!
Happy Rails To You,
Ted

Mr. Bach-Man,
I'm actually rather disappointed with the announcement. We're lacking an ET&WNC roadname, since the ET&WNC's Ten Wheelers are what the Big Hauler 4-6-0s are Based off of. Will you PLEASE release one with an ET&WNC paint scheme?

[tedyarbrough]

Hey Bach Man,
Bachmann Facebook has a tease about new large scale locomotive coming soon! Could this be the previously announce 4-6-0 with upgraded tender, etc? Send photos!
Happy Rails To You,
Ted

Bach Man,
You have been very quiet lately. Hope you are well. I watched with much anticipation the TrainWorld NMRA Show announcements.
I know MANY will be extremely excited about the release of the Dash 9 Locomotive. However, it was not the announcement I expected. Sure was waiting for updated info on the release of the long ago announced 4-6-0 upgrade. I know there is also a Thomas diesel announced on Facebook that was not in the TrainWorld show, so maybe you can give us some inside info regarding the 4-6-0 Rio Grande schemes.
Happy Rails To You,
Ted

Dear Ted,
I'm here, OK, and the project is "chugging along"...
I can't wait to share all the pictures with you!  The tender is
really nice!
There have been the expected pandemic delays, but I hope to have something to shw you soon!
Keep on trackin'!
Be safe!

Watched Bachmann on Trainworld tonight, still nothing about the 4-6-0

T'

Just saw their email about the show.

Are people able to post questions to them while "live" ?

Right at the very end, Ken asked Larry H about the 4-6-0, I believe he said it was going to production, but I don't recall a delivery date.  Larry did go on to describe all of the enhancements to the locomotive and especially the tender.   Should be amazing when it arrives, looking forward to buying 1 or maybe two. Realistically, I'm expecting to see it in Spring 2021.
