Great Toy Train Locomotives Puzzle
This 500-piece puzzle features some of the greatest toy train locomotives of all time!
Nice engine, but the price is way out of line compared to others with more features and remote control.
I have the green Southern "Crescent" original K-Line version and it appears the Bachman unit is the same regarding one chuff per driver revolution. This is my only disappointment for a great model- I would like more chuffs. Chuffs are timed with a micro switch actuated by the driver wheels that failed early in running, but K-Line sent me a new one free which has worked for years. That has been the only failure to date. The K-Line 4-6-2 has a cast tender, so I am sorry to hear that Bachman saw fit do plastic with their re-issue. K-Line also included a lot of extras such as replacement light bulbs, front engine coupler for dead heading (the engine came with a scale front coupler), smoke fluid and traction tires with the engine. I rarely see any mention of the "extras" in reviews and believe readers would appreciate this info (I have seen reviews which note a parts listing Bachman includes- good deal!).
Was the smoke unit turned off?
Looks and sounds great
Seems very nice with good detail and probably bulletproof Williams operation.
