[quote user="pcarrell"]Dewayne,Bachmann has a great warrenty program if the LHS won't replace that loco for you.  I have not personally had that happen to any of the 4 Bmann 4-4-0's that I have, but admittedly, they don't see a lot of track time.  The one that I've run most probably only has 50 or so hours on it.[quote user="nscaler711"] FOR EVERYBODY: DO NOT BUY BACHMANN LOCOS THEY ALL SUCK!!! {this excludes their Spectrum(R) line.} their cars are ok but their locos are crap the e-z command is ok but i burnt mine obiviosly you must have all track connections in b4 you plug in ac power duh i feel stupid now i have to replace it now after i bought a deccoder or two this just sucks u can laugh if u want or u could tell me that u did something simmular.[/quote]I guess you've not had a good experience with Bmann's.  Thats too bad, because while I've had some minor issues with them in the past, as I have with almost all the loco companies I've delt with, they've been able to consistantly deliver a decent product most of the time.  The 2-6-2 was the lone Bmann exception to this.  My 2-8-0's and my 4-8-2's are some of the best in my fleet, and that includes my three Kato Mikes.  And the easy command,....yeah, it's very limited, but the instructions tell you that right up front.  It's a one trick pony.  It doesn't do much, but what it promises it will do, it delivers on in my experience (Yes, I own one).  Anyways, I guess the point I'm trying to make is that maybe all the Bmanns you've had experiences with have not worked out, but to say that they all are that way would imply that you've tried every single product they have ever made and tested each one extensively.  I'm doubting that this is truely the case here.  I like my Bmanns and am quite happy with them, and I think I'm pretty picky when it comes to the runability of them.[/quote] I am with Pcarrell on this one. I love the 2-8-0 spectrum that I currently own. I though am a little lerry about the non spectrum line from bachman though. I have had some minor problems with there freight cars and such. As time and money will allow however I will get a couple more locos for my fleet and we shall see what I think. Curt
