The new Bachmann 2-4-2T was put into revenue service this past weekend at the Chippokes Steam and Gas Engine Festival. The little tanker's performance was flawless.

The 2-4-2T is on the headend of a passenger consist. It can be reported that the locomotive is right at home on 2 ft. radius curves. Very quiet and smooth operation. Throttle response is smooth from start all the way through the speed range.
