steamlocomotive

Hello,
I am looking for a Bachmann Steamlocomotive the name of that loco is Oliver Evans.
I do not know the catalogue number. I think the loco is about 20 years out.
Thank you for a reply.
Kindest regards
Paul  Belgium.

Paul, 

I am no authority by any means, but all my research has turned up nothing on this locomotive.  I can only guess that it must have been some kind of commemorative thing, as I don't know how any manufacturer would make that amphibious digging thing Oliver Evans invented.  I had to look him up to refresh my memory who Evans was; essentially the inventor of the high pressure steam engine.  I won't even try to spell the latin name for his contraption, although pretty far ahead of his time from what I deduce.

Good Luck,

Jonathan

Jonathan,

Thank you for your reply.

I was wrong about the name of the locomotive.  The name  Oliver Evans was given in Belgium. ( Etat Belge )

The builder of that locomotive was NORIS .
Bachmann had made that NOris locomotive in the years 80.

Kindest regards,
