Bachmann Standard 2-8-0

[Pacific Northern]

I see that the 2-8-0 is now officially in the Standard product line. The description indicates that it has a 5 pole motor. The Bach Man had indicated sometime ago in this forum that Bachmann had changed the motor to a high effeciency 3 pole motor.

Which motor is in the Standard 2-8-0?  Is it a three pole or a five pole?

I am pretty sure that it is three.

I assume that the new 2-8-0's are all three pole as per the information from the Bach Man, However, if the ads indicate 5 pole then the advertising is misleading and should be changed.

FYI, the Bach Man indicated the old information was out of date, now even the new information is wrong.
