Have fun!
the Bach-man

Some observations IMHO
Why another 2-8-4? Already done by Proto and Rivarossi, guess this is right up there with 17 manufacturers doing F units.
RF-16 sharks, didn't ER models do these already
On30 4-4-0, used a 2' gauge as the prototype, an odd choice, but maybe will go around 15" curves
Large Scale, at least some tank cars here, and some new gons, should keep modellers happy
HO scale Peter Witt streetcar, nice choice, but why no TTC roadname?
E60CP, Bachmann did these years ago, but they were strictly toys, hopefully these are better. Begs the question though, such an uncommon prototype with limited appeal. Maybe there is hope for a better DDA40X in the future?
Just about everything else is a re-release of existing models.

Comments?

The 2-4-4 Forneys' do go around a 15" radius curve. But you have to go slow....And the 'backend' sticks out a lot so coupling a car up to it is stressful.

I was quietly hoping they were going to do something akin to Disney's #4, much more a classic 4-4-0, not a amusement park 2' ride, which was basically what the Mt. Gretna was.

---

My comments;

Why

What? No Sound?

Woohoo....finally an updated E60CP. :))

Definitely getting myself one to complement my North American Heavy Electric Collection (consisiting of a GG1, AEM7, E44, HHP8, and Acela).

Bachmann states the E60CP will have "more detail" than their original late '70s release. A metal pantagraph and 12-wheel drive. Some announcement info states 8-wheel drive...but Bachmann did confirm it will be all-wheel or 12-wheel drive.

Did anyone happen to snap a good picture of the Bachmann NKP Berkshire on display? The Sharks? I'd also like to see a shot of the shells for the coming Bachmann GP35 in Rio Grande that they had on their table. Pics would be appreciated!

Thanks!
