Question for Loco Bill

[g-guage_trains]

Hi Loco Bill, I have bought a Bachmann Bumble Bee 4-6-0. On the side of the loco show 177, the tender is lettered Denver & Rio Grande Western. Is it from a set? Big bump on the under side of the loco.
Thanks, alanrr

Most of it is in the link from Joe.  the loco possibly came from one of two sources.  set 90025 and set 90032 both had the DRGW 177 in them.  If it has just the one large hump then it is most likely from 90025. If in addition to the Hump it has the soft removable plastic lubrication port it is most likely from set 90035.

Hope it helps.

Loco Bill,

Thank you for your kind response.  I bought it several years ago and it has only been run to lube it, and make sure all was in working order - I have it on display in my den - I just like it's looks.
