Hi Jayrod,
It's also available in "N" scale. I use to shy away from Bachmann as the quality of their rolling stock and engines in my opinion was always below what was being offered by Atlas and Kato. At one time their products were more toy like than scale models, but in recent years that has changed. Their spectrum line of steam locomotives are some of the best models available today. I'm also very pleased with the detail on their FM H16-44 which in my opinion is a giant step above their earlier diesel locomotive offerings and more in line with their spectrum and dcc onboard line of diesel locomotives. My only wish is they would have offered this caboose in P&WV paint, but who knows, maybe next run.
Regards,
Rich S. |

Rich -
For projects on the back burner (for now), I've got three of Bachmann's N scale Spectrum 2-8-0's and they run beautifly. Also have two Kato mikes and those will eventually get the P&WV treatment (1000 series). They'll all get decoders. I picked up some older Lifelike NE cabs a while ago to modify and detail but I may check out the B-mann if they'll be less work. Thanks for the tip. |
