I dont get to post here much, but seeing this thread had to...

Yes Please make a Pacific and any Pacific... K4, USRA or other wise.

I have a vary aging fleet of 7  RR that need to put to rest.

If they can be made as well as the J  I'd be in for at least 7.

By the way thanks for the Heavy Mountain, great looking and running.

a 2-6-6-2T  would also be well excepted.

I received one a few months ago and this J runs very well.   

One of my best steamers.  I can pull 9 ConCor passengers no problem.
Thats all I have for N&W cars.

Freight had to stop at 45 cars and up a 2% grade.

Note: if you mu the water tenders to other steam it will add more electrical pickups and less stalling to that loco ex.  MP steam.


Bachmann steam, the tenders  Bachman rocks!

Iam new here and wow! I though the same thing ...HA!

Only on mine the trailing truck was derailing all the time.
That is till I found that foam block....  :D

Now its my vary best steamer. Mine will even out pull my 2-8-0 consol.

What a great loco. This J will pull 28 40' box cars up my 22" curved 2.5% grade.     And its not broke in yet.

Nice!

Thank you Bachmann

If you ever consider applying this tech to the existing 2-6-6-2 I feel that will pull stumps.

I like noisy loco's ..... they quite the voices in my head.

just kidding,


Some locos have brass gears that take longer to break in
I have several older locos with these gears and they are noiser then
the new ones w/plastic gearing.

Good lubercation should help.
