I picked up one of these and am so impressed I went back and got another. There is more detail on these engines than on any other Spectrum I have seen.

Old news.  Sorry.

Is this the Chinese 2-8-2 or the old 2-8-0 with the cobbled on trailing truck?

The old 2-8-0 with a cobbled on trailing truck.  Complete with pancake motor and screaming gear train.  I remember them well.  The same body, still with the mounting for the rear truck, was also used for the Plus version of the Consolidation, but I don't believe there was ever a Bachmann Plus Mikado.  If this is the locomotive on eBay, run, don't walk, to the nearest exit.

A link to the auction would be a great help in determining which 2-8-2 it is.  So would a mention of scale.  Bachmann also produced 2-8-2's in N-scale and in large scale.

The link is to the Chinese SY class 2-8-2.  Apparently an excellent model but it is old news.
