i just bought BACHMANN SPECTRUM UNION PACIFIC GE DASH 8-40C DIESEL i want to know how good they are?
my experience with the c40-8 is that they're decent runners comparable to any other bachmann split frame diesel. i had trouble with mine on 18r but they should handle 22r or wider curves wiith ease.
ok i run 4-8-4's so i run 22 curves by way is this ho scale heres the ITEM 85002

at one time i had 6 of them. they're decent runners. my problem was the sloppiness of the axles in their trucks. under a heavy load the center axle would pop out of one side or the other causing the front or rear drivers to derail.
