I have a bunch of these - these are really excellent models.
So thank you Bachmann for producing these along with your Excellent Class J loco!
Hopefully someday we'll get some N scale Y6bs and As to put in front of these beauties! (for now I run one behind my Rivarossi Y6b).

don't get rid of your rivarossis . keep them lubricated.(i didn't)don't look like any thing will out pull them. n scaller
The 611 often ran with the black auxillary tender, especially in the latter years of the steam program. It is a significantly better model than the red stripe version, and I use it with my J.
