I doubt we will see any new tooling for any WBB steam. I have no evidence, anecdotal or otherwise, to defend this opinion but I just don't see Bachmann investing much money into the Williams line, especially steam engines. I would suspect that the WBB line represents an incredibly small percentage of Bachmann's total worldwide sales and that future investments will primarily be made to the HO lines of business. As many here have said in other threads, WBB steam engines are no longer the great bargain they used to be. the MSRP for WBB steam is near the MSRP of some Lionel and MTH steamers that offer a whole lot more features. I remember my reaction when I first heard that Bachmann was acquiring Williams some years ago: "this isn't going to end well".
