hi, did Bachmann make a spectrum 2-6-0 mogul? if yes was it first introduced as a "big hauler" before becoming a "spectrum"? thanks guys
Bachmann makes 2 different 2-6-0 locomotives. One is an industrial loco and is rather small, but industrial locos in real life were small and did not pull long trains. The industrial 2-6-0 model by Bachmann is just like its full scale brother, in that it is light and will not pull long, heavy trains. This 'Indy' as it is sometimes called uses some parts (like tender & boiler) from the 'Big Hauler' line of 2-4-2 locos. The second 2-6-0 is a pre-1900 version that goes with the 4-4-0 model. It is well detailed and very closely represents the real life model it represents. Both of these are represented to be 1:20 scale, although the 'Indy' still appears a bit undersized in this scale and looks better with the 'Big Hauler' line of cars.
Happy Rails To You,
