Price increase WOW!

As I had mentioned some time back, Ridge Road Station had the Bachmann 45 tonners for sale at a bargain price. Well now the price has went up almost triple so I hope those who jumped in on the sale received all they ordered or wanted.
You know for roughly $60.00 it was a great deal as there are two motors, two smoke units and a lot there to kit bash into something else.

Cheers,

Darryl, I think you were the one that brought this to my attention! I do have to thank you. It turned out well.

#3

Ya Bruce thanks… I think I was one of the first to alert people about the sale.

Nice nice job on the conversion…

I sure would like to have the talent to do something like that but we are all different in our endeavors.

Cheers,

Yeah,
I bought 4, two still intact(1 converted to Battery, 1 in Box), two “bodies” sold whch left 4 motors for future projects…

I bought two of them for bash material. I’m thinking about a freelance 4 trucker based on an Illinois Terminal motor. It will be a dismal instead of electric - so sue me. But the end result will be that I can contract out my services to pull stumps.

San Val still has them at a low price ($99 last time I was there) Trainland, Wholesale trains too, so if ya still need one I’d jump now, cause once their gone I doubt B’mann will ever reproduce them.

John Pritchard, my wife and I moved to Los Alamos in 1952 and met a John Pritchard, a model railroader, whose parents were firends of Jack and Ceil Devine. Would you by chance be the same John Pritchard?

The one and the same. I worked for the Lab for 16 years and now live in Santa Fe, soon to move to Chama, I hope. Small world.

Good to hear from you again John; I’m reminded of you each time I inventory my HO stock and find the drovers’s caboose I received from you on a swap!

Hard to work on HO anymore, fingers don’t work like they did 50 years ago. Large scale is much more to my liking now. Happy railroading.
