I have been trying to lay my hands on a Bachmann On30 2-8-0, at a reasonable price, for years. Well, it finally happened and I managed to lay my hands on one. Granted it was not in the original box so all the little extra pieces were missing and it had a load of lumber in the tender instead of coal. I can live with all of that. What I might have trouble with is that it appears to be a DCC locomotive which I was not prepared for. Now I'm going to have to do the work and convert my smaller locomotives (a 2 truck Shay and a couple of Porters) over to DCC. Nothing like a challenge!
Cool looking loco. Is the stack original or converted to match a wood burning prototype?
ReplyDeleteThey install the wood burning stack as stock, out of the box. So its part of the original part assortment. Unfortunately none of those spare parts were included so I'll have to get a few aftermarket parts as part of the conversion. If you can get a new one, or buy one from a parts horder there is a straight stack and a coal load that you can swap out for.
