So, I think we all have that old Bachmann 6 wheeler sitting on a shelf somewhere. I have a buddy who has a fleet of walthers heritage 6 wheelers that look great. It's been a while since any QUALITY 6 wheeler has been on the market. I'm pretty excited for it. Thoughts?
I have 5 of the old 0-6-0's, from a 90's version all the way up to the DCC versions.
I am looking forward to an 0-6-0 with the correct tender. Wish they were producing one without Sound Value. I have enough sounders.
Of course, I will be looking for an excuse to pick up the B&O 0-6-0... and detailing it up nicely. Arm sufficiently twisted.
Regards,
Jonathan
Being polite, I have the competition's 0-6-0 that is better detailed in my opinion. But still, the biggest thing I'd look for in the Bachmann reissue is a WORKING FRONT COUPLER. How can you call an engine without one a switcher.
Is there one? Can anyone verify?
Trainman 203 I completely agree, but this is all we've got... *shaking my head*

I saw an article some time ago at the trains.com forum with photos. The user used a Kadee coupler. Check the Kadee site also. They might say something als and do a Google search. That could take a little time.
I did give away two of those steamers to someone here about ten years ago. I kept the tenders.
