Yep' looks like the rivet came out,not unheard off,hopefully it can be replaced fairly easily.

To the best of my knowledge bachmanns have not had smoke generators in any of their steam locomotives.

The 2-8-0 is the better puller as for looks and detail their pretty much even,chances of the Decapod being done again is slim at best but I guess the old saying goes ,never say never.

The review on this engine is on the MR website,also a nice video,guess I misspoke on the width being mentioned ,didn't see it there must have been elsewhere lol.
Non the less it is a nice little tea kettle for those with tight radius's and desiring a steam locomotive

IIRC The width of the tender was mentioned in the MR review of this engine.

Welcome to the jungle......er'the board:)

Totally a steam locomotive man here,have a particular love of monster articulateds,luckily belong to a club that has the room for wide sweeping curves to support running these brutes!!

What's strange to me was the way the car with the camera backed out of a parking spot to park in the street like he knew something was going to happen.....just really strange!!

What you need and are looking for is called a truck tuner,used to clean out and reshape the axle journeys.
The one from Micromark is best,Reboxx makes one also but it's just a tad bit short making it difficult to use continuous ( hard on the fingers)
