I was reviewing some websites to price locos and I noticed that some stores are selling Bachman locos with decoders for $30. This seems really cheap. Are these locos worth buying?
Amazingly, yes.

even not buy this Bachmann stuff
Yes. They are surprisingly worth every penny. The decoders are not the best quality (only 28 speed steps) but they work, and are very easily swapped for something better.
you get what you pay for- that’s all i’ll say
