Bachmann 2-8-0 train set

[Pacific Northern]

I have all of the Bachmann 2-8-0's that I will ever need, otherwise I would pick these up myself.

It appears to be the whole set. What a good buy for someone

The price looks attractive, especially for a new set with Spectrum locomotive, but the $45 shipping to Canada seems rather high.  The description says 0-8-0 but the title says 2-8-0 and the photo definitely shows a pony truck.

Not that expensive when you consider the size of the box. If the items were placed in a more rectangular box the S&H charges would be about half.

Who would want the large box anyway?

I have that one on my "watch list," probably more out of curiosity than anything else. It struck me as a good price for the set, but I really can't use the passenger cars because my experience with them is that they don't work well on 18"-radius curves, which is the largest I have room for.

That's the price I paid for my New York Central set 2 years ago and it still runs good

Sell the passenger cars, track and power pack and you have
your Connies for an even more attractive price.

Sure enough.
