In the June issue of MR pg. 67 there is a box of info about the specs. of the HO Bachmann DD40AX…
…the last line reads…Weight 16 pounds 7.75 ounces.
Am I seeing things or was this a misprint?
I can just see the thing falling thru the foam on my layout.
Amazon says 28 ounces.
After reading Your post, I had to check it out and your right,that’s exactly,what they state,it weigh’s… That’s heavier,than my 15lb sledge hammer… Maybe,it should read,1.6???
Cheers,

Great catch. No wonder it can’t make it to the prototypical speed–LOL
Richard
assuming that it can move with that much weight how many cars can it pull?
[:D]
They state,in the same,article,where the weight info is,73 cars,
Cheers,

I know, but if it weighs 16 pounds 73 cars must be featherweight to what she really can do.
I don’t know what to say, after reading that article, is it possible??? It has,four flywheels,two motors,cast frame,and trucks, I believe, there is a error somewhere… according to the spec’s,16lbs,7.75,oz’s,$275.00.dollars…
Cheers,
