QUOTE: Originally posted by powderpuff I JUST GOT STARTED IN MODEL RAILROADING AND I MADE THE MISTAKE OF BUYING CHEAP BACHMAN CRAP. RIGHT NOW I'M READY TO TRASH EVERYTHING AND START ALL OVER, OR FIND ANOTHER HOBBY ALTOGETHER! QUALITY CONTROL? WHAT QUALITY CONTROL. AFTER TALKING TO THE GUYS AT A LOCAL HOBBY SHOP I FOUND OUT THAT THEY HAVE MORE PROBLEMS WITH BACHMAN THAN ALL THE REST COMBINED! FOR THIS REASON THEY HAVE CEASED TO SELL THIS CRAP AND CONCENTRATE ON QUALITY MDSE. ONLY. REMINDS ME OF A SIGN MY HUSBAND USED TO HAVE IN HIS SNAP-ON TRUCK, "I'D RATHER EXPLAIN THE PRICE THAN APOLOGIZE FOR THE QUALITY."
