I have one of the Con-Cor Veranda turbines. It is quite the locomotive. I run mine on my 11.75" radius Bachmann EZ track on occasion, and it takes 'em fine.

It has the standard N scale Rapido couplers, so yes, it will couple to Bachmann cars.

Come on! You need a nice heavy consist behind that Centennial! 

I usually use mine to pull my Roadrailers...But I'm only running on the TableTop Transit line or the Carpet City central.

That is such a good song. Joseph Andrew Brady, AKA Steve, is not as famous (infamous? take your pick) as Casey Jones is, but he still gets himself a song. 

I didn't know that #1102 was rebuilt after that accident though...I always thought it was scrapped immediately afterwards.
