Hi guys,

Anyone out there with a new Bachman 2-4-4?  I am contemplating getting one for running around my bar, see pic below:



And the boys were only there for the trains!! They are German, so I had to run my German train for them.

Back to the topic... 

I am thinking a 2-4-4 with sound, of course, and a couple of Dogfish Head Reefers, a low sided gon or two (for shot glasses) and a combine might be all the On30 I need (besides the Hershey Trolley I've already got!)  I'm not worried about trying to run two On30 trains at once since the inner loop is dedicated live steam (Hornby Mallard). Track spacing is about 1.5" center to center.

So, my question about the new 2-4-4 is how well does it track? Is it picky about vertical changes? Would it be able to handle 4-7 cars, possibly hauling a few glasses with 1.5 oz of Tequilla, Vodka, or possibly some low grade whiskey?

Thanks,

Mark

Hi Bachmann,

Is it too soon to ask about this year's Sams Club set? 

Thanks,
