Disappointed with Bachmann.

 I love building and kit bashing.... currently I am scratch building a coal fired 7.5 inch gauge Ps-4 4-6-2 NO joke! Will be about 12ft long and weigh about 1200lbs when done.... Not all that far along, just finished the trailing truck and getting ready to do the cylinders.

Hi Andrew

I hope we can see some photos of this loco in the future. The Pioneer Valley Live Steamers is about twenty miles from where I live. It is alway a nice visit.

Some years ago I rode behind a massive 4-8-2.

Rich - I read the forum about no "C&O".
I guess he's complaining about the C&O stuff being dropped.
Perhaps the "thousands of C&O modelers" weren't buying enough C&O stuff to keep the products going.

Bachmann did release a few Southern Spectrum steamers. I have a 4-8-2 Light Mountain as well as a 2-8-0 in the Southern livery. They certainly are striking in their Southern Green Livery.

Thanks...but didn't really want green because less than 5% of the steam engines were actually green. It would be more typical or authentic to have the more common basic black steam engines with Southern decals...
But thanks anyway.

Are there not decals available for the Southern?
