Recently I was looking at a history of the Washington and Old Dominoin Railway, a motley little road that once ran not far from my house. In the 40s and 50s they used a pair of 44 tonners like this:
At least I think it's a 44 tonner
Bachmann makes a verison of this which a local store has on sale for $99. The undecorated version has the same striping. I was thinking it'd be a simple matter to make it into a W&OD engine.
But I've never seen one of these Bachmanns-- anyone have any expereince with them? I worry about the size--the box is surisingly big and there's an old thread in the archives describing them as huge. I'd be using it as a switcher with mixed scales, mostly 1:29
