Hi guys, <br />I've already touched on this in a couple of topics but I think it's deserving of its own space. I bought four freight wagons on Tuesday, all Bachmann, and the quality is excellent. The lettering is crisp, the couplers seem more posotive, the wheels are true and they sail through my switch without worry, pulling and pushing. They are fresh in from China and there are no hook & loops included and whilst the 'spring' of the knuckle still rests on one axle the drag is nothing - in the past I have cut off that bit of plastic. The four together on my track travel along very well with just a push and I was pleasently surprised when reading the review of the new Shay in the June mag, the author states that all of the wheels measure, back to back, the minimum NMRA standard. <br />What have other people found? I know T Jack is of similar mind. It may well be time for those that have been put off Bachmann in the past to test the water again. <br />[img]http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b5da06b3127cce913abb3dc8f700000016108QbM2jJyxcO[/img] <br /> <br />[img]http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b5da06b3127cce913abb45c88f00000016108QbM2jJyxcO[/img] <br /> <br />I put this stock car on the track I had laid today, unknown to me there is obviously a bit of an incline, off went the car on its own and stopped where these pics where took, about 3' downgrade. <br /> <br /> <br />Cheers, <br />Kim <br />[tup]
