I had the opportunity to ride behind the real Susquehanna 142 several times during the late 90's and would like to own a model of the locomotive. I'm aware Bachmann's produced an HO version of it. Does anyone have a recommendation regarding delears where this model might still be found?
Thanks in advance,
Earle
There is one on e-bay right now

I have a couple of these engines, not sure why but the level of detail on these is higher than the typical Spectrum engine.
They are great runners, exceptional slow speed and also pull well.
A Canadian store which carries Chinese steam also has this engine available, used only.

Dear Earle,
They're still in the catalog, and should be available from any Bachmann dealer.
Try Train World.
Have fun!
