[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Cascade1 The best thing you can do with your Bachman's is throw them out and don't spend a penny more on them. I would give on caveat to Kevin's recommendation. The Bachman Consolidation's are a great loco....BUT!!!....there are some bad runners in the lot, so..... Buy from your LHS and make sure you see it run, and it runs well, with no jerkiness or noise. If it is a good runner at the store, then it will stay a good runner. Trust me, some have ended up with some bad ones (the majority are good). The new LL 2-8-8-2 is one hot number to, and people are loving it. [/quote] Hmm, I always thought the Spectrum line of Bachmann was pretty good. I have some plain 'ole Bachmann locos and they run fine (though the GP38-2 is quite noisy, BUT, it's getting old, too) Of course thease are HO, so I don't know about N scale...... though my friend has a Bachmann N set with a Consolidation and it works fine.
