Rusty

[rbrpguy]

Hi Ya'll! Was there ever a version of Bachmann Big Haulers L 2-4-2 Steam Locomotives that were made to look weathered and rusty, or is the one I am looking at actually weathered and rusty? Ha, ha! It is a private listing not Ebay and says it is new. Thanks!

There are some modelers that like to weather and then simply display on a shelf (shelf queen).  Could be the case and
basically its not new, but never run...  Fairly certain that weathering was not by Bachmann.  The front wheels look
to have no run time but had to tell from picture.  Ask for picture of the wheels if serious.

Bachmann never sold a weathered loco.
