Railroading_Brit, The older Bachmann steam models prior to the Spectrum years were ones you stayed away from. I picked up a GS4 back in the early 80's and it lasted about 3 hours running time before I had enough and tossed it into the parts bin. The money I paid for it was way too much and could have been better used elsewhere. <br /> <br />Bachmann makes a good product with the spectrum line they are the ones that set the HO plastic standard for steam in the late 90's with the 2-8-0 Consolidation. I do own a 2-10-0 and it runs well. It may be a canidate for future DCC/Sound because the tender is too light and needs weight and that no one else makes a similar model (Hint..BLI!) <br /> <br />
