I do not own a Bachmann version, but I do own the Sunset Models brass version which was produced over 15 years ago. They may still be available somewhere, but expect to pay a lot for one, like a few hundred bucks. This is a respectable puller, but I have had trouble with the pilot truck derailing because it is so light. The Bachmann engine has inaccuracies, in that it stands a little too tall, and the fattening of the maroon stripe at the engine's firebox is exaggerated; on the real thing, there is just a slight dip. I do think the basic mechanism of this engine is slightly better than other Bachmann steamers, but as I said I don't own one to really know.
