[PRCo] Re: Bachman Spectrum HO Scale Peter Witt Cars

[Jerry Matsick]

Fred, who said they changed the dies?     The die for the Peter Witt is fantastic, whereas
the old Bachmann PCC Die are not scale, the wheelsets aren't scale either?  It is a far
cry from the old bachmann PCC and so is the cost $$$, much greater, operating in
Digital control makes it worth it.
