Hello all!
I was looking to purchase a Bach 44 tonner for a re powering project.  I understand there was an old style with twin motors and a newer model with 1 motor. I was wondering which is the better loco? I don't care about the shell and details since I am only going to use the drive train. I am more interested in smoothness, pulling power and low speed performance. Decoder installation might factor in too. I'm going to use it to replace a tender drive so I think I'll have plenty of room for a decoder and maybe extra weight if needed. Do either models use traction tires or are they all wheel drive and pick up?
Thanks
