RE: Bachmann 'Big Haulers'? Most of my Engines are are Big Haulers, they run fine, yes the Annie's have more detail. One I got on E-bay was the Emmett Kelly Circus (this is their old circus train) and it does run as promised, but it has poor sound and does not seam to have the pulling other of my other Big Haulers.

RE: Newbie Recommendations on Small Locomotive There are several that will work, I use Bachman's and LGB's, both take the 4' turns easily.

It does appear to take about 1 to 2 sec though for the emergency stop to take effect, not sure why that is, b...... 27 Nov 2008 10:41 PM Traditional Power (0)

The GLR got it new phase today The GLR (Grandpa's Little Railway) got it's 1st run on it's new track today, I had learned that I am not much of a gardener, at least not yet, so.
