I totally forgot about it not pulling many cars but that seems to be a case by case problem as well as some did great while others did not.  Tires on the drivers would be a good idea maybe!  Also, having the correct Vandy tender is a big plus as well!

Now if I can get Bachmann to take care of the new H-5 I have that the smokebox front is totally crooked!!!

I second that motion...where is the sound???  Also, I hope some things will be addressed in this release...

1) that they accurately reflect the H-4 type as appearance wise there ARE differences that make an H-4 distinctly different from and H-5 besides road number!  Do your homework Bachmann...please as I'd rather buy ready to run with quality and performance than wait and buy brass.

2) that Bachmann can maybe get the smokebox front on this release straight (or vertical) instead of completely crooked (I have one that is brand new and was told by Bachmann that basically there is NOTHING they can do :O!)

3) that the detailed plastic pieces will have the "flashing" removed better as I have one that is ridicoulous as flashing is everywhere!

4) performance issues in running, tracking, wheel guage and such

With that said...THANK YOU Bachmann for giving C&O fans the opportunity to buy additional locos from your Spectrum line...just tweak the issue of the H-5s and you will have an outstanding product, if not then I do not think they will sell as well as could be...just my opinion.

Oh...did I say Thanks Bachmann?  THanks!

     How about some C&O Steam like an Allegheny 2-6-6-6 or Greenbrier?

Now your talkin!  Both of these, the C&O H-8 and J-3 Greenbrier, and the N&W Class A as well!
