Well...
Now we get into the "What Scale Should It Be?" problem.
Bachmann large scale is 1:20.3 if it is Spectrum, but 1:22.5 if not. HOWEVER, everyone I know (East Penn Traction Club) who does large scale trolley is in Half-Inch scale, which is 1:24!
Other traction suppliers in Large Scale are all 1:24.
Now what should Bachmann do?

HEY! Does a trolley museum count in this survey?
I am deeply involved with the Electric City Trolley Museum in Scranton, Pa. (Located on Steamtown's grounds!) I try to get there once a month to operate the trolley excursion. If you like trolleys AND trains, this is the place. You can get photographs of a trolley and train together at the platform. Be sure to take a trolley ride. It is a 10.5 MILE round trip, including a tunnel of over 4700 feet.
I am also a conductor and engineer trainee on the Cape May Seashore Lines in south Jersey. While not really a museum, we do operate historic equipment such as, Budd RDC's that ran on this line from 1950 until 1981. You can have a 30 mile round trip every Saturday from Tuckahoe to Richland.
