QUOTE: Originally posted by jdavid93225 I just ordered a three truck shay in HO today, since they're currently on sale at Trainworld for about $120.00. After coming home and checking the web, I found this thread. I am glad to hear of all the positive responses about the Spectrum models. I, too, am planning to add the Soundtraxx decoder to this unit. I've already ordered the one designed for the Shay. It should make a sweet running and sounding unit if it lives up to my expectations from what I've just read. Thanks to all for the positive responses. I hope Simon1966 gets one that lives up to the reputation they have earned here.

QUOTE: Originally posted by simon1966 I have to admit, that after purchasing a really junky Bachmann steamer early on in my return to MRR, I have avoided Bachmann like the plague. There have been enough good posts about the Spectrum line of steamers that I am tempted to get one. However, I also get the impression that not all Bachmann Spectrum line is created equal and that some models are better than others? I am considering a 3 truck shay in HO. Is this a decent model? Any other Bachmann steamers deserving of attention? Thanks
