Proud owner of a lone Bachmann Spectrum  4-8-2 light mountain, wouldn't have it any other way. besides I needed something to get the NP's repo up in my fleet. 

SP&S modeler, 1960's give or take a decade or two for some equipment.

Bachmann has surpised me of late, they had the ole PCC cars, but then came out with the Peter Witt, then the Birney, someone there's gots the smarts. I have the EM-1, and 2-10-2, 4-8-2, high drivered 4-6-0, 0-6-0, 2-6-6-2... I own the older N&W J 4-8-4 but its mechanism will be changed to the Bowser, plus the older SP Gs-4 4-8-4 will be swapped for the Bowser drive. (bowser steam kits no longer in stock, parts available tho) so yay bachmann for now, I do own brass but when a rare model finally hits the plastic market, I don't care what its made of, brass, plastic, if it fits my scheme, I'm all over it.
