HO / Re: Locomotive ID

I just gave it a quick test to make sure it was running.  My layout is set up for 4 axle power and  my railroad is set in New England.  It was part of a buyout from a friend who is leaving the area.  I got about 20 locos along with lots of freight cars and passenger cars.  Most of that stuff ie either too long for my 18 in min radius or is from the western roads.  I was thinking that an SD would still handle the tight curves, but give me some 6 axle power.

I am holding back a Dash 40 Spectrum.  What a beast!  Will be restricted as I doubt that it will handle the tight spots. .

Here is another loco that I am trying to id.  It is a Bachmann 6 axle in the blue SF scheme road number is 5048.  Appears to be an SD and runs, but is need of some truck covers and other parts.  Am trying to decide whether to fix it and keep it or move it with a bunch of other used locos.

Thanks for the help guys.  Into the scrap pile for this one.  Not worth the effort, since i have plenty of power on hand.

HO / Identify this locomotive.

I was given a Bachmann F unit.  Looks like a cheapie since the motor is a small one over the rear wheel set.  The body is decorated in the Santa Fe warbonnet design.  and is unit 307.  On the chasis there is a number 30918.  The unit runs (Barely) and needs a few trim parts.  If I can fix it cheaply I will use it as an extra for fan trips.  Otherwise it goes into the junk pile, since I model New England roads in the PC Conrail transistion.

A ehilr bsvk, I took the on the bear and upgraded.  I have a Railpower 1370 which will handle just about anything I can throw at it.  I have run up to five locos and have a 14x25 layout.  Not an expensive pack either.
