At long last a new HO 2-6-0 steamer is set to be released by Bachmann. As a lover of small steamers I am estatic, it will be released with sound.

For the large steam lovers, there will be yet another 2-8-8-4 released as well. It to will have sound as well.

This news was released on the Bachmann web site and at the NMRA convention.

$175 for a sound equipped 2-6-0? Even at full retail, that's not bad.

Looks to me like it's based on a Green Bay & Western Mogul. Not identical, but close.

EDIT: They're also bringing out an ALCO S-4. In SP tiger stripe, no less. I may have to get one of those.

It's really kind of hard to support your local hobby shop when the nearest hobby shop that's worth the name is a 150 mile roundtrip.
