Bachmann has come out and "officially" announced their Long Caboose along with the Davenport Diesel but the third item isn't a high side gondola! No, it's a new logging loki and (*gasp!) it's NOT a Vulcan!! /DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/mls/emoticons/w00t.gif It's a 2-6-6-2T and it's gonna be gorgeous (if it's anything like the illustration in the Rolling Stock thread.)
There is a rumor going around that new items from Bachmann may be put off till 2010 but if so, these will do just fine until then! As to the rumor, as far as I know it's only that... a rumor. What IS fact is that Bachmann has announced some new items that are sure to please many of us!

There was a comment (on the Bachmann board, I think,) that they weren't going to pre-announce - the items would be available almost immediately. They certainly did with the 0-4-0 Davenport.

Aha! Just found the Bachmann announcement. It says available Nov, just in time for Xmas, for the caboose and Mallet.

Doubt it. Probably just that the mallet and the caboose are Christmas things..... kinda like the K was supposed to be.

There are no black helicopters. Really. Now, please look up at the red light....
