More exciting news about Bachmann K4

[Ed Kapuscinski]

Gentlemen: "How do you get a small fortune in the model train business...? Easy, start with a huge one and wait..."

No one is getting rich making model trains.... believe me.

amen. I always laugh whenever someone says something about greed in the model railroad industry.

Apparently he ordered from TrainWorld. His shipped 9/1.

My last name ends with "KY." When spelling my name on the phone, I often get the "was that K-I?" My typical response is "no, K-Y. Like the jelly."

But can it help a Bachmann mechanism have less friction?

Two showed up on eBay with a $299.95 Buy It Now price.

Mine shipped from BLW today, but I'm leaving town for two weeks, so won't get a chance to put it through its paces for a while.

They are showing up as back-ordered on Trainworld.  I guess I need to spend a little more and order from BLW. 
I have never ordered from Trainworld, but have been buying from BLW since the early 80's before Pete moved to NJ.

I did notice Trainworld has undec, B&M and Seaboard Bachmann doodlebugs with the coach for under $99.99 each. 

Someone has all four 4 K4's as Buy It Now for $259.99 each on eBay.

 Serious kudos to Bachmann for their secrecy alone on this...
although this doesn't appeal to me at all, one doesn't have to be a genius to understand how much this class of locomotive is wanted, needed,   anticipated, in N scale,  by PRR modelers  I find it interesting (and sadly amusing) at the 'know it alls' first, pooh-poohing the announcement, then the  product (w/o even seeing the first photo), then the delivery 'schedule' as announced by Bachmann...
 There are %$#%s in every group....but I do agree that the negativity generally prevalent here (Thank goodness not always) is offputting enough to fairly 'seasoned' modelers, but positively poisonous to many novice modelers searching for any kind of info to 'up' their game...
  Again...I'm chuckling at the fact that Bachmann kept this under their hat so well!

I haven't heard anything about the one I ordered from Feather River other than the order being confirmed.
Hopefully it doesn't end up lost in a sorting facility

I can hardly wait for the four pages of posts when everyone receives them and takes pictures!

I did also see the back order at Trainworld when I ordered one yesterday morning and got the shipping notice yesterday evening. This kind of back orders I like.

My Chuck pack was shipped today.

Haven't heard from Chuck yet.

[Bob Bufkin]

Forget my last post.  It it is something else I ordered from Chuck.  Got my hopes up.

My LHS says they'll have their order on the 11th which works okay because I'm out of town the 5th through the 12th.  They should also have my stand in MT mail-baggage cars, too so I can make an all MT "foob" PRR heavyweight train.
