I have'nt ordered my K-27 yet because no one  [ the Bachman included]has clearly specified wether RGS 455 will be pre-wreck or post-wreck.I would love a definate answer so I can order one and not be surprised at what I get!!  I want a pre-wreck version as I think the post wreck one is ugly, and too late for the period I model. I'd love a little clarity on this point as would several future K-27 owners!!!

My 38 ton shay has a surge mainly slow speed forward on 8' dia. curves, reverse runs much smoother & straight track smooth too. Track Is good Loco is lubed and broken in couple of hours. I heard that the problem might be overly long screws on truck side frames that are touching gears on inside of power trucks. Anyone have any insites on this problem?

  Thank you Bachmann crew for doing the K- 27 . RGS 455 is my choice for this years new loco. I did notice one small mistake that no one has mentioned yet. There is a small handrail above # board. That rail should be up higher. As it is the hand rail stanchion is mounted on top of the smokebox door hinge ,it should be located above the hinge.  I hope that this small error can be corrected prior to manufacturing. Glad to hear it will have a pittman motor and be available mute! Keep up the good work.
