Williams by Bachman SP GS4
Posted by KEVINK22 on Friday, September 3, 2010 3:38 PM

Hi All,

 Just curious if anyone knows whether the Willaims by Bachman SP GS4 is going to be coming back out. A couple of sites i have been on say that the item is out of stock and is being back ordered for a date TBA. Any feed back on this would be appreciated!

I just went to the Bachmann website and the engine is in stock now! However the price is $414.99 plus $9.99 shipping from Bachmann.

You could order it from Ma & Pa Junction on the internet and save about 20 to 25 % compared to the Bachmann price.

Hi Lee,

 Thanks for the info. I have been on that Ma and Pa Junction site before, and liked what i saw as for as price goes. Have you had any experience with them or know someone who has? Just want to make sure that they are reputible and trust worthy. I have read some feed back on the Whole Sale Trains website and it was not that great. So after  reading that i want to be careful. Thanks again for the heads up!

I have never heard any bad reports concerning Ma and Pa Junction.  They are a top seller of Williams engines.  Marty, the owner of Ma and Pa Junction, posts frequently on several train forum boards.  Marty knows more about Williams engines then Bachmann does.  Bachmann uses him as a resource .

Like what Earl mentioned about Ma & Pa Junction, I too have never heard anything bad about them. Marty has helped me once with a Williams problem.

This is my input about Bachmann's pricing; they should sell cheaper when you buy direct(from their website) then from a retailer or other distributor.
