Having recieved a future update in a Micro-Mark catalog, I was genuinely surprised & definitly pleased to see Bachmann is coming out with a decent looking 2-6-0 Alco with full valve gear. I model the Boston & Maine, & a few other new England roads all mixed into a fictional version of the Central Vermont railway, era 1920 - 1940's mid-wartime.
Only thing is that I cannot find any more information or a bigger then a tiny photo of the preproduction model.
Having been recently put into wearing glasses, is the a place where there is more information on this delightful little addition to your line up, & when, pray tell, will it be released. I have a warm home for several of these little gems as soon as they come out.
thanks,
Vermont Bob
Try the NMRA Train Show flyer. It has a description of the engine and the list of initial roadnames.
Hope that helps.
I already have two on order. :-)

Nice!!! I am hoping to get one at some point. I want it in either Santa Fe or Union Pacific.
I can't seem to find this NMRA train show flyer. I'm not sure where to look & google is not very helpful either.
Is there a link you can post to make the search a bit easier?
Thanks,
