Pavariangoo, <br /> The Bachmann steam engine you have the link to is a standard Bachman steam engine and is not worth owning. I have had some of the standard (non-Spectrum) Bachmann Nscale steam and it just was very poor. Out of the four I owned only one of them ran decently (not good but at best decently). Besides, at $59 you are about half way to the price of a good steam engine. The 2-8-0 Spectrum Consolidation lists for around $130 -$135 but they are often sold below retail price. I paid $99 for mine. I was able to find the Model Power Pacific for $99 and the Model Power Mikado for $109. I don't see how you can go wrong with the Spectrum 2-8-0 Consolidation or the Kato Mikado.
