I came across a few HO engines that I can’t seem to find any information on. They are both made by bachmann. One has the number 768 on it and the tender says texas & pacific. It is a pretty big HO engine, about 9 1/2 inches long. The tender is about 7 in long and there is a caboose. It lights up and runs. It says it was made in Hong Kong and I think it is fairly old. The other has the number 2528 on it and the tender says Union Pacific. It is about 7 in long and the tender is 6in. It also says it is made in hong kong. Does anyone know anything about these engines? Thanks
Can you post some pictures? It’s hard to know what engines these could be from your description.
I have pictures but I don’t know how to post them on here. Let me know and I’ll be glad to.
The first one: Is it like this?
That would be a Bachmann 2-10-4 Texas type.
Or like this?
That would be a Bachmann 4-8-4 Northern type.
They were based on the same body shell, with different mechanisms. The 2-10-4
diework was damaged and it isn’t made any more.
It is a 2-10-4. It is black and the front of it is silver. How can I post a picture of it on here.
