-How about re-releasing the plus series ho scale 2-8-0, many of the other plus series locomotives have been re-released.

I remember long ago the plus series engines offered at one online dealer .  Google turns up nothing.  So...... what "is" the "plus" series?

[rogertra]

Does he mean the Spectrum series.  The best  steam locos ever produced by Bachmann, that now sadly seems to have been discontinued in favour of lesser detailed models.

Roger I definitely saw "Plus" series listed.  I wish I could remembered where.

Google gave me this: -

Google "Bachmann Plus Consolidation" turns up quite a few hits on E-Bay.

I think they did the old reading 2-8-0 in the plus.

[quark51]

Locomotives in the plus series are the 4-8-4 Niagara, GS-4, Class J, Northern, SD45, B23-7, GP35, F7A/B, and the 2-8-0. They came in a gray box and had upgraded motors. Other than the 2-8-0, all the other locomotives listed have been re-released in recent years.

Are the Connies hard to find? Trainworld has 5 different Bachmann 2-8-0's listed.......all DCC equipped.

The Reading Connie is different that the ones for sale now.

And different from the ones 10 years ago in a black box with Soundraxx sound.  I miss those......
