Anyone know what this loco will pull on a 4%(i think,it might be more) grade? Thanks in advance! I have a "terrain for trains" layout that i would like to run one on, The loco would be pulling 4-5 shortie overtons and the model power 4-4-0 wont do it.

Very interesting question for me also.

Thanks for info about 4-4-0.

Thanks !

I know that you've done an amazing job on the 0-6-0, I saw your many contributions on various forums!  . This is also reading your info on the digitization and processing of this loco I considered this possibility (initially I was rather on the 2-6-0 dcc). As I have already buy dz125 to scan a European railcar, it seemed simple to buy two decoders and make as 0-6-0. What worries me is what you say about the slope back tender that is too small for dz125. I could always take the shorts.

About couplers, sorry, I would renew my question: Durango Silverton passengers cars are compatible with Jackson excurtion cars? Even if I do not take the set now, I will one day buy one of these cars since the production of passenger old timer is so small.

Thank you very much.

Please forgive me if I've chosen the wrong word.   

So here is an image of good exemple :



The overton were perfect for me because I'm working on small layout.

The Bachmann Silverton & Durango are longer but I suppose it could be ok too.

Thank you very much to both of you !  

In fact the photo that I've seen is this presentation.

Thanks to your post  I realized that I had not seen how well it was tender, I thought it was the one found on the DCC 2-6-0 but that the set one is longer and it's not a good news. These images are clearer than the set photo .

My idea could be to buy this kit, add this Digitrax DZ125 and have a complete DCC train for a good price  (May also swap the tender for the spectrum slope back that I love). Because this kind of old time passenger cars seems to be rare and even Bachmann don't sell them alone. But I'm not sure, I previously thought to buy a 2-6-0 DCC equipped but the problem of old time cars was a little upset my plans (I 'm not sure to be clear here   )

Sorry, I'm not very familiar with the differences in American couplers (yet) and I feel that you do not agree about it. Am I wrong ?

Do you think  coach passengers Durango Silverton are compatible with a spectrum slope back tender and Bachmann N 19397 Jackson Sharp Open-Side Excursion Car ? Thanks !

hello

The article of spookshow insists on the difference in quality between the versions of 0-6-0.

The 0-6-0 version in Durango &Silverton Set has a different tender than the last release version with slope back tender.

So I was wondering if there was a way to know if it is a recent version or if the locos  of these sets are older models.

Thank you.

haha thanks ! I think it's the right loco I need. 

But as I write my order,  I just discovered  old time coach seems to be VERY rare! I'm very surprised and disappointed. I've thought theses "classic" old historic coachs are common products in USA, but it seems it's not. 

I'm agree, I'm dreaming of a N Climax too.

Thank you very much for these very very interesting info ! 

I'm still hesitate between 2-6-0 and 4-6-0. They seems to be very close about motor etc. We can find them at the same price.

But like many other people, the big tender of 4-6-0 is a "problem" for me. I know I could change it later but it's little boring to buy a complete product DCC equipped to change it for a question of size. And it seems it's not so easy to adapt connections.

So I suppose I'll probably choose 2-6-0.

Thank you ! 

I wrote to Bachmann and they've just answered me :

"This is new with a decoder on board it is not a Spectrum  this was a term used for the new DCC ready engines that were the first to come out this way. The new 4-6-0 in N scale is better than a Spectrum because of the decoder and its new production."

I thought there is difference in quality of details and motor.  So many customers talk about these differences... (noise, power etc..)

(forgive my english, I'm French).

Hello

Few sellers mentioned  Bachmann N 51452 Baldwin 4-6-0 Steam Locomotive as "Spectrum" line.  Other sellers didn't mentionned any info about it.

Maybe there is a confusion with other scales. I'd like to contact them for correct info but i need to be sure.

I know there is no Spectrum logo on N catalog but could you confirme if it's Spectrum or not ?

Thank you very much !
