Trying to decide which Shays to order and comparing different vendors I find a lots errors in their catalogs, flyer's, and web sites. Most vendors show three different prices, 2 truck, three truck and DCC but sometimes they have the DCC price on one of their 2 truck versions or even the other way around. Also some descriptions do not mat the part number commonly used by other vendors.
I ended up making a chart and sorting out what I could.
Maybe this chart will help others to avoid getting the wrong loco.
Unfortunately, there are a lot ob blanks in my chart and the Bachmann on line catalog search is no help.
Can anyone fill in the blanks?
