Large / Did Bachmann make a D&RG C-16?
December 13, 2018, 04:20:22 PM
Just watched the newly posted C-19 video.  Very cool. I am modeling the D&RG between 1875 and 1885 or thereabouts. Did Bachmann make a C-16 in the Spectrum line?  Or are there plans to?  I suppose I could backdate a C-19, but Bachmann's level of craftsmanship is superb, and I would rather have an as-manufactured engine.  Cheers, Bill

Hello, I am starting to put together a garden railroad modeled after the D&RG narrow gauge prototype. I am confused about which of Bachmann's product lines go together.  I have bought several 1:20.3 Spectrum locomotives and cars, but am perplexed when a catalog listing or classified ad says "Large" or "Big Haulers".  Are these products built to 1:20.3, or to another scale?  I realize they all work on gauge 1 track,  but are they distinct product categories from one another?  I don't want the various pieces of rolling stock and motive power to look out of proportion with each other.

Thanks, Bill
