Title: Alco FA2 Diesel
Post by: beanman on June 29, 2021, 09:57:42 PM
I need help getting the Alco FA2 Diesel locomotive. I can not find it in the store. If you have a 2015 catalog you can find it on page 76. Specifically ERIE Lackawanna. May I please have help?

You might be out of luck finding that. Everyone seems to be out. Ebay has a bunch of B units but no Bachmann A units. Bachmann does show the shell in their parts section. You could buy one with a different road name and swap shells. It looks like that might be your only option unless someone on here has one they want to part with.

Thank you Terry Toenges. I have been wanting to get that model for a while now. That was a very good idea with the shell swapping. Thanks again.

Now, just hope that Bachmann has the shell in stock.

The Erie Lackawanna FA2 shell is listed as available in the parts store for $34.09. Better hurry though, they only list 3 in stock.
