Title: Bachmann Stand at the Narrow Gauge Show & 009 AGM Saturday 1st April 2017
Post by: Stan Williams on March 26, 2017, 21:37
Bachmann have kindly asked if they can have a stand at our show this coming Saturday 1st April in Rainford.

Steve Purves will be bringing along the prototypes for the 009 Baldwin and WD Rolling Stock.

The Bachmann Stand will be in the Stockley Room which is part of the Parish Hall.

We wish to thank Bachmann for their support of the show and the 009 Society.

We hope many of you will come along and support both parties this coming Saturday.
Show opens from 10am until  4.30pm.

See you there.

Stan.

Please ask them about the OO9 Baldwin time line (and its minimum radius and its couplings)!

Wonderful!  Maybe it will come out before the Heljan 2-6-2T, which was just delayed again...

I think the Heljan locos are in the UK. However it has been mentioned that some have an 'electrical problem'. They intend to sort them out before they are released.
