Looking at the release closely, this is more than just a new van; it’s a major step forward for Bachmann. Different chassis, wheels and buffers for specific versions, not just one of each and including Instanter couplings? This is revolutionary stuff. Will they be offering 3 packs with different numbers too? Someone at the company has been studying the ‘opposition’. Will the Red Team go the same way I wonder! steve

A very welcome release. Wonder if they’ve pulled a flanker on Rapido or Accurascale? steve

Duncan's Mine II - Mansfield 2/4/24 (Pics)
steve1 replied to steve1's topic in USA & Canadian Railroads
At Mansfield, for an experiment, I ran the layout backdated by about 5 years by running all steam, bar the Model 40 switcher. It all worked really well, switching with big tender locos and running 0-6-0 tanks on PW and ore jennies. May well go 50:50 mix of propulsion next time! steve -
Sorting stock suitable for the 1950s period and weathering the rest but concentrating mainly on a Scottish EM project. The layout is booked for Bridlington show on September, running as BR Blue. steve

Can Kadees be fitted to TT120 stock? (Can’t find an answer anywhere.) Thanks steve

I’m somehow not convinced by that livery version. It looks too contrived to me. steve

Unknown H0 Freight Cars identification.
steve1 replied to melmerby's topic in USA & Canadian Railroads
Agreed. I chopped them off and made a body mount if I was keeping the trucks or, more usually, dumped the trucks entirely and fitted a body mount for a Kadee. Some cheap (& nasty) locos had truck mounted couplers but these were best avoided completely anyway. steve -
Fleischmann 4016 BR 70 overloading the controller

Could it be slop in the rods, causing them to touch something? This is pure speculation, not knowledge by the way. steve
