A great new product from Bachmann Trains that will help with maintenance of your HO locomotives! We also look at the new Norfolk & Western Class J locomotive in HO scale.
im wondering if it matters much if i used say a a hornby mallard on the rolling road as i been trying to get the means and tools to be able to up keep for it and for me its this Mallard steam locomotive modle is like living the dream i always wanted so i want to be sure to take good care of it best i can even tho i havent latly sadly
+bachmanntrains *Thanks for the briefing on a new maintenance tool set.* The Rolling Road looks configurable for any HO locomotive in production, from H. K. Porter four-coupled tank engines to the the 4-8+8-4 American SEA (based on Union Pacific Class BSA-1) to Diesels through the GM DDX-40.
Do you know if the PROSES 3 rail version for Märklin can also be used for regular HO 2 rail? I don't want to buy one only to realize I need to buy the other.
Hi Robert, this would be a question for our partners at Proses Europe, as we don't currently offer this version in our lineup. You can reach them directly at: hobbyshop@proses.com
Hi Bachmann I was wondering if this 611s drive rod that is connected to all wheels is it 4 separate pieces like the old collectors edition and I have one and I think it is broken cause I was running it around my layout and I heard a snap so I think a axle broke you can see it in my newest vid I am very upset cause I love this loco and these locos are special for me cause I live near the queen of the rails aka 611 I really like your trains but if this loco is not fixable and the new dcc j has the same problem I will buy a Broadway limited 611 and I am very upset so please help me and can this work with dc? Pls help
Will the Rolling Road Cleaning piece work on tank engine models? All of my Thomas ones are filthy... and broken... I was not careful as a kid, I'll tell you that.
Hi Dylan, That is the list price. You can find the model at much cheaper prices by checking out online discounters. We do not offer any other J Class locos at this time.
bachmanntrains ok thanks for the info. I just find that the list price as you say is very expensive. The model itself is a very beautiful locomotive and it looks great.
Hi Bachmann, great engine. Runs great sounds good, except I'm not to happy with the whistle. It sounds like a muffled 80s film. Just give it a little more oomph and make it sound clear. Other than that, I love mine!
Just something bugging me in the video. Did the roller bearings or some other part not line up correctly since throughout the video the body of the locomotive rises and falls during operation? Also if I get a rolling road I'm going to end up burning out a locomotive running it as a display on my desk or as part of a layout :(.
Hi Bachmann! First time caller, long time listener. I'm was wondering if the EZ rollers are compatible with the Rolling Road? I'm looking to squeeze a Big Boy onto this as a display track with the engine slowly cguffing along.
I love the motion of the valve gear.

This should work fine with any OO/HO locomotive!

a wonderful looking tool but since I am working in N scale I am wondering if Bachman has any plans to offer a similar product for that scale?
Thank you James I love the bachmann trains
Cant wait for these!!! Ill definitely be getting both!!!
Will there be matching coaches for the 611?
Anything is possible!
I have coaches from the Cavalier set from the early 2000's
I had 2 of these both arrived broken parts Got a refund (made in Turkey)
Do you guys still make the dc 611

Will water tenders be available?
Are you planning to release NJT locomotives?
Can the rolling road be used with diesel locomotives or is it just for steam locomotives?
Sure can!

The Rolling Road can be used with diesels.

will it run on 18 in radius
22" radius is recommended.
what about g scale and how much
they have ez rider rollers available, which i will recommend over whatever the rollers on this thing is
will the j be able to take 18 inch curves?

The rolling road has the cleaning pads in place so more side to side movement is visible
Should have used a different train with dirty wheels to show the cleaning before and after.
Isn’t the rolling road made by Proses?
most probably is, along with the crappy rollers
how much does one of these cost
Kristi Adair If its the engine your talking about, retail is $399.00 they're is some on ebay for high 200's to mid 300's
ME WANTS.

yes
although I wonder if i would trust my expensive loco on these rollers, these are not ez rollers
