Large / K27 Info
September 25, 2008, 10:08:58 AM
I am a long term model railroader just getting into garden railroading and am looking to purchase a K27 as this is one of my favorite locomotives.
The review in Railroad Model Craftsman seemed to indicate that this locomotive had set a new level of excellence in the hobby.

But when I check online on some of the forums it seems that there is a lot of hostility towards Bachmann and the K27 by some whom I thought knew something.

When I search the Bachmann forum I can find nothing about what they are talking about here so I thought I would ask.

I know a little about drive trains from the smaller scales and the concept of thrust bearing and flywheels seem to me like a good idea but when I read the long thread on mylargescale Barry of BBT claims they are worthless and since his drive trains are well recommended I would think he would know what he is talking about.

What's the scoop.
