Bachmann 4-8-4s Selling Like Hotcakes

[Yampa Bob]

All my curves are 18", and the Connies look and run great. All drivers allow lateral motion for curves.  Drawbar pivot very close to last driver so the engineer doesn't get whiplash on curves.

My passenger cars are all Overtons and Overlands, freight cars 50' or less. I never got bit by the big loco bug, in fact I'm downsizing with a bunch of Roundhouse vintage 2-6-0 and 2-8-0 for my 32' custom excursion cars and 40' freighters.

On the other hand, I'm upsizing my diesels to AC4400 and SD70 Macs since those are the ones I see at the local yard, and they run great on 18". (140 mph).  

I think WGL's 4-8-4 looks super, just wouldn't work on my layout.

By the way, WGL, I do snow removal for some of the neighbor's ranch complexes, when the winter is over I'm going on another binge. Got a bad case of DTs and need a fix.
