Thanks all for your input. My son and I ordered BOTH the 2 6 0 and 4 6 0. We liked them both and couldn't decide.  We also ordered two sets of Baldwin Sharks. Lol

I totally agree with you as far as
The  Hudson goes. There are two issues with that though.....
1. It is a passenger loco I believe
2. It is not really a slow and smooth runner from what I understand.

The Kato Mikado is really nice but I think the NYC ones are long gone . I like the Bachmann's because they are ready to run and are dual mode should we go that way.

So I guess I'm still undecided between the 4 6 0 and the 2 6 0....
Thanks
Rick
Can someone post a side by side comparison?

I see that Bachmann has a new and improved Doodlebug.  I used to have the older version but sold it because it was too noisy.  Does anyone have any experience with the newer version? Is it better and worth investing in?  The trailing NYC coach looks great! 

Wow... Never gave it a thought. Most likely freight. Also since We would be running it with first generation diesels ( RS & GP) which would fit the era better??
I do love the 2 8 0 but it has the RAPIDO coupler and it is not DCC.
thanks for your reply

I recently picked up two Bachmann engines for my oldest son in NYC. One is a GP7 and the other is an RS 3. WOW......... They are beautiful. I usually only buy Atlas or Kato locos only but now will be buying more BACHMANN. Now for my question....... I preordered a PLE S4 and now want one steamer.  My question which is a more desirable steamer for NYC fans.....a 2 6 0 or a 4 6 0?
I really only need one at this point so please help me make decision
