I picked up one of these and am so impressed I went back and got another. There is more detail on these engines than on any other Spectrum I have seen.
Old news. Sorry.
Is this the Chinese 2-8-2 or the old 2-8-0 with the cobbled on trailing truck?

The old 2-8-0 with a cobbled on trailing truck. Complete with pancake motor and screaming gear train. I remember them well. The same body, still with the mounting for the rear truck, was also used for the Plus version of the Consolidation, but I don't believe there was ever a Bachmann Plus Mikado. If this is the locomotive on eBay, run, don't walk, to the nearest exit.
A link to the auction would be a great help in determining which 2-8-2 it is. So would a mention of scale. Bachmann also produced 2-8-2's in N-scale and in large scale.

The link is to the Chinese SY class 2-8-2. Apparently an excellent model but it is old news.
