C&O 2-6-6-2

[Ed Kunkel]

Bachmann lists two C&O 2-6-6-2 HO's with sound and Vandy tenders.
One description adds "H4" after C&O.
What is the difference between the H4 and the non-H4?

Dear Ed,
The H-4 is the class designation of the prototype loco, as opposed to, say, the H-5.
Have fun!

Ed the two locos are the same, but the discription of the unlettered one does not include the prototype designation.

Contemplating getting the H5 unlettered as well.
In Bachmanns description it clearly states the H4 has a diecast boiler
The H5 though doesnt mention that, can I assume its also a diecast boiler?
thanks in advance!

The boilers on both these engines are plastic not diecast.

Thanks for the heads up

I bought the unlettered and lettered it for my freelance RR
