I remember you feeling a loss because so many nice Spectrum engines have been discontinued. I hope you have seen that the Bach Man is reintroducing the 52" driver 4-6-0 this coming year. I have several of the older ones. They are beautifully detailed and operate like champs. I am very happy to see this great engine return.
Bachmann has been putting better and brighter headlights in their newer steam engines like the mogul. The old 4-6-0s had really dim headlights, and I bet this new run will have nice bright ones.
They've got a pretty nice 2-8-2 coming out, and the mogul is a great runner, I have 2.
Start your collection now.
