Model Train Production News

[Brakie]

May be the expected production predominance of Bachmann will bring us back to the good old blue box days (I am too new in the US model railroad hobby to have they era experienced).
If Bachmann floods the market with engines like the Geeps we may take them as a base to build what ever skill, time money etc. permits. That may be helpful to shift the hobby from collectors/consumers/buyers back to builders. All the smaller US companies supplying the add on details would become more important and stronger than today.
I am extreme pleased and satisfied with my perfect running and finished expensive Atlas models but I am proud of my Corman Geeps... just my two cents

Reinhard,Actually those BB car kits was a hassle to assemble correctly where the coupler would be at the correct height without the help of KD washers.

I also agree Bachmann will be slowly take the lead in sales.
