Did Bachmann make a Steam engine numbered 4114? If so are repair parts available? Thanks Ernest Burcher

to the best of my knowledge , Bachmann never made any of the cab-forward locomotives. Somebody did ;checkout Broadway Limited or Rivossi websites for locomotives. I thought I saw it in a Broadway Limited Catalog from a couple of years back . I will look later after breakfast , train literature is in shop office .      John  II

Just got off of the Broadway Limited website .  They have two Cab Forward Locoes  AC4 & AC5 in their Blueline Series and a  AC12 in their Hybrid Brass Series.   I hope those are the engines you are looking for .  I did not look at prices but I remember  BLI products were not inexpensive but these were the only cab forwards  I have seen .  John II

You can still find Rivarossi/AHM Cab forwards on e-bay from time to time as well. The last batch I am advised made by Rivarossi were excellent running models.
