There was a Bachmann unit I was presented with as a gift one year. I think it was a B and O 2-8-2. The one with the really big firebox. That thing never did run right. I slowly disassembled it all the way down to the motor. Once the motor was opened two little springs jumped out and was gone. Eventually everything was reassembled but it sits in a box for at least 10 years. Recently I pulled it out and serviced it. I put it on a 5 foot section of track. It ran 2 feet and smoked on me. I guess that engine was a sad engine from the day it left the factory. If they ever make that particular engine again as a Broadway unit or similar I think I will go into debt to get a copy. (Makes sense?) Someone mentioned going into debt to get expensive engines, I thought that was sad also.
