     In the past, Bachmann has been very good to us N scale C&O modelers... any chance of more N scale C&O transition era items coming, especially steam locomotives?

     Any chance Williams will have a Siemens ACS-64 offering. Septa, perhaps?

     Hi Wheatie, here's our contact information for our parts department. estore.bachmanntrains.com. Email us at parts@bachmanntrains.com, or give us a call at 215-533-1600, ext. 727 (Mon-Fri 9-4 EDT)

     What is the best software to use for designing an EZ-Track layout

Randy -  04-17-2021 04:11
     I have cars from multiple manufacturers and they have different couplers on them that don't always match up.  Which coupler system do you recommend I replace all mine with?

Dave J - BC Canada -  04-17-2021 04:12
     I've been getting product announcement emails from Bachmann for about 1.5 years now and I have yet to see any content about G gauge. Could you please explain why this is so ?

-  04-17-2021 04:13
     Hi Dave, we have more announcements in N and HO scales because they are our most popular items. We're working to expand our G scale lineup, and more announcements will come subsequently.

trainguy45 -  04-17-2021 04:14
     do you know when we will get pictures of bachmann daisy?

-  04-17-2021 04:16
     Hi Trainguy45, we hope to have a sample soon! We'll show it off as soon as we can.

Dave J - BC Canada -  04-17-2021 04:16
     Thanks for your replies...  I read the product emails all pretty much end to end and it makes me feel like G gauge (which has been struggling in hobby shops here in Canada - no one here in Vancouver has much of any selection any more ) needs positive vendor support.

Larry Harrington - Bachmann -  04-17-2021 04:19
     Dave J, you have to tell your vendors to carry more.  If they hear it often they will start listening.

Tom -  04-17-2021 04:21
     What set would you recommend in HO to get started? I have an 8x16' area that I can use. Thank you. Sorry for such a basic beginner question! Thanks for doing this!

John -  04-17-2021 05:14
     Just getting back into it and trying to go bigger than before.  HO  Concerns about power and engines pulling capacity.  I know the condition of the engines have a lot to do with this.   How powerful of transformers are available?  Most of mine are old and are 12 - 18 v output.   Does it make sense to run wires from the transformer to two different terminal tracks?  (1/2 way round)  Is there a specific gauge of wire that I should be using?

Randy Hein -  04-17-2021 05:27

     Can I purchase products from your website.Can you talk about the sound system on your O scale if you have one. thanks

PlaybyPlay225 -  04-17-2021 06:48
     Would Bachmann ever consider going a narrow gauge G-scale Thomas and Friends range? Presumably on O-gauge track. Also, if you did, would it be 2-rail, like most overseas O-gauge, or 3-rail, like most US O-gauge?

Teddy -  04-17-2021 06:48
     any plans for new schemes-such as D&RGW #168 running at Cumbres & Toltec or RGS 20 just restored at Zcolorsdo Railroad Museum?

Charles Sloane -  04-17-2021 06:48

     Noodle, you can buy all of our products at shop.bachmanntrains.com.

NS6770Fan -  04-17-2021 06:54
     Would Bachmann consider updating the ES44AC tooling to have higher detail, separate grab irons, PTC, and more? These models have great potential but seem a bit behind in detail.

smalltimecruiser100 -  04-17-2021 06:57

NS6770Fan -  04-17-2021 07:06
     Are any more "super detailed" models like the SC44 and ACS64 planned? Also, will models such as these be marketed with DCC ready capabilities in the future?

NS6770Fan -  04-17-2021 07:09
     If DCC ready models could not be produced, is there a possibility of a "custom order" to have a model delivered with a competitor decoder brand, such as ESU instead of TCS?

     I love the Hiro 2-8-2 from Thomas. I would love to see him in Bachmann

Dan Miller -  04-17-2021 07:32
     I’m new and trying to plan my track layout.  It I would like to make a yard layout with say 5 switches can I still control 8 locomotives or does the number of locomotives decrease when the number of switches reaches a certain point?

Kurt -  04-17-2021 07:33
     I missed your response to my question on CNW cars, sorry.

-  04-17-2021 07:34
     **Kurt** No specific plans for CNW right now.

Bremner  -  04-17-2021 07:34
     Any chance on updated shells for N Scale 0-6-0's to match the details of the locomotives that were released after 2003?

ted f -  04-17-2021 07:34
     Is the  DCC unit available for the first run of the N-Scale USRA 4-8-2 and how do I break into the tender to install it?

Dan Miller -  04-17-2021 07:36
     Perfect.  Thanks.  I was getting a little confused but that helps a lot!

CRSR2021 -  04-17-2021 07:36
     Is the Hickens oil tender still being produced?

Bremner  -  04-17-2021 07:39
     What I meant is the current 0-6-0 details are horrible. The mechanism is much improved.  The new steam locos since the Baldwin 2-8-0 have great details. Are you planning on making the 0-6-0 look better?

ted f -  04-17-2021 07:39
     The part number is 81665 for the 4-8-2

CRSR2021 -  04-17-2021 07:41
     The hickens oil tender says Southern Pacific white lettering on black body, 6-axle trucks, dcc ready board

-  04-17-2021 07:42
     **CRSR2021** we don't currently offer that

trainman -  04-17-2021 08:10
     how do you download the train photos from the show? It says free photos but when you go there it is not clear how to download. I tried to click on the pics, but that doesnt do anything. I am sure other train people would also like the info.  thanks

Bristol 78 -  04-17-2021 08:47
     At a couple of different spots my engine slows down would  I benefit need to go with Power booster power pack? I'm running a fairly large layout with the basic power pack

Tom -  04-17-2021 08:47
     Hi Larry. I'm sorry for these very basic questions, but when I was younger, the track that changed the path of the train was called a switch. Is that what it is called now or is it "a turnout"? And, when you buy the Thunderchief, for example, with the Bachmann track extender kit, do you purchase those special tracks separately and does the DCC control those too?

mike -  04-17-2021 08:49
     old school - switch....new school - turnout

BnDTrainRepair.com -  04-17-2021 08:49

Tom -  04-17-2021 09:05
     Larry, I hope this isn't boring to other people, but once I start out and it is going to be with Thunderchief + Extender Track Pack + DCC, what are the top things that a beginner makes for mistakes that I should make sure not to do? Just top of mind would be really helpful!

Randy -  04-17-2021 09:36
     Any plans to offer a diner in the N-scale smooth side and corrugated side side passenger cars?  We really need these to put together a complete train.

PlaybyPlay225 -  04-17-2021 09:36
     I wonder, continuing from my suggestion earlier, if you guys do the G-scale Narrow Gauge Thomas and Friends models, would they be 2-rail or 3-rail, or will there be a conversion kit or something included in with the locomotives? Just wondering, since most overseas countries use 2-rail O gauge, and the US mostly uses 3-rail.

-  04-17-2021 09:37
     **PlaybyPlay225** We cannot speculate as we have no plans for these items. Stay tuned for what is coming to our lineup!

Karichie -  04-17-2021 09:54
     I have an HO train set that I haven't had set up since I had kids (13 years).  It has about 4 diesel engines and 1 steam.  I ran it on DCC.  I want to eventually set it back up again.  What would you suggest when starting it back up? What types of changes could I expect? Sorry if this question seems open ended.. 😆

Karichie -  04-17-2021 09:59
     It was since I had kids 13 years ago.  

Karichie -  04-17-2021 10:01

Doug B. -  04-17-2021 10:02
     Do you have E-Z Track setups for a 4 x 8 sheet of plywood?

Tom -  04-17-2021 10:02
     As a beginner I am planning to buy the Thunderchief + Bachmann track extender package + DCC. What are some of the things beginners make as mistakes that I should make sure I don't do?

Joe  -  04-17-2021 10:04
     Nice

Karichie -  04-17-2021 10:04
     Does Bachmann have any good turntables?  I was looking into a good one before I put mine away this years ago.

Tom -  04-17-2021 10:07
     Thank you!

PlaybyPlay225 -  04-17-2021 10:08
     I wonder, for the Peter Sam model, how will the funnel be done? Will it be the cgi funnel, the square model series one, just the regular round one, or will it be interchangeable?

-  04-17-2021 10:08
     **PlaybyPlay225** We have no info on Peter Sam right now. We will announce information and photos as soon as we do.
