 For me, the "American" of the 1860´s and 1870´s has always been the most "American" of all steam locos. About a year ago, I started a similar thread, as I could not find any 4-4-0 from that period, other than Bachmann´s outdated and toyish locos.The sad end of that thread is the following conclusion: There aren´t any others around! Apparently a loco of the type that built America is not of interest to the Athearns, Atlas, BLI´s or MTH´s of this world - you can probably earn more money by marketing the umpteenth Big Boy, Challenger or Cab Forward.What a pity! If you are lucky, you´ll be able to find a brass 4-4-0, which are a little oversize, but in any case better than Bachmann´s.
