A New 4-4-0 I Actually Like!

New Bachmann Modern Outside-frame 4-4-0

As some of you may know, I’ve never been terribly find of the “American” 4-4-0. However, Bachmann have released this new model, a “modern” outside-frame version that has a great, funky, low-slung look to it that I actually find really appealing.

I just may have to have one of these things, if I ever have any money again…

  1. Hi Geren,

    You’re right! That is a more appealing loco.

    Might make a fine conversion to S standard gauge, too… :-)

  2. I don’t know about S-standard, but it would certainly be a likely candidate for “conversion” to Sn3½
