Interesting that my first reaction when this opened up was “WOW - Chuggington HO models!!”. Guess that’s being a grandpa does to you.
Anyway, I agree. I wouldn’t shell out big bucks for a “heritage” engine, but a reasonably priced good model in NYC lettering might be fun to have.
p.s. Since the new 2-6-0 is based on a Green Bay & Western engine, it would nice to see the model offered in GB&W decoration…or at least an undec version.
True, the Bachmann factory is cranking out products and most are much better than their past adventures of a few years ago.
I was surprised at the two new diesels they announced, but they sold a lot of their 2-8-4 Berkshires after eveyone and their brother had them on the market. I guess competition is good for all of us.
