Inside Frame 4-4-0 American

[Anubis]

Hi guys,

I have just received my Bachmann Inside Frame 4-4-0 American Steam Locomotive, and I must say that I am very impressed!

The first thing that I noticed about it was just how diminutive that it is! 

It was only when I got it onto the rails, and saw it sitting between my Forney and one of my Porters that it struck me that it was quite a bit smaller than the Forney, and not much taller than the Porter....

What a gorgeous little THANG!!! (I can't call it "CUTE" can I???)

It runs really well on my little straight DC layout. Pulls four loaded coal hoppers with ease.

Thank you Bachmann!!!

Anubis,

    I agree the li'l American is just gorgeous. I own 2 of them. I am trying to figure a way to get a couple more, but alas the Chief Financial Officer of the railroad is quite tight lately as the bad economy has hit here too.
    I like to run one pulling a freight consist of 4-6 cars and the other pulling a Passenger consist of 5 cars. They do either with great ease while looking beautiful doing so. They also look great running next to the many Moguls I own.
    I also want to thank Bachmann for making, IMHO the most beautiful engine made in any scale, the On30-American.

Enjoy,
  Barry

I agree it's a very nice classical looking american lokomotive.
It looks very tiny next to my two K27's
I have transplanted the sound decoder, from my Porter, with a real speaker (1")
looks and sounds even beter than before.
