Bachmann Times

[Alan Pollock]

Hi Guys

Apologies if this is in the wrong place again. I've just received my Bachmann collectors club magazine and have just read Charles Insley's article on the double farlies I was impressed with what was said but I'm disappointed in Bachmann for the mistake in making one of the locomotive by 1 1/4in short but unless you know that about the locomotive (I didn't) then who stand with a rule and measurs these things so I'll disappear again and read the other article that is their it might be as interesting as this one

Oh and well done Charles in doing this article

Thanks
Alan

That's nearly 8 feet! How on earth could they miss that!!!

Or are we talking about 1 1/4" full size, which would be 0.42mm on the model...

I suppose it depends on whether you measure the loco on a hot day or a cold one...

Hi Julien

I've double checked the article and it says David Lloyd George is fractionally shorter than that it should be being the same 30ft 1 1/4in scale length as the 2 earlier machines rather than the 31ft 6inch it should

My apologies I should have put my first post much better than it reads I'm not gonna win the article of the year any time soon

Thanks
Alan
