LGB
23191 Mogul This classic LGB Mogul
loco is undecorated so you can decorate it with the included road name
transfers. Like every LGB Mogul, this model features a powerful Bühler
motor, voltage stabilized lanterns and a fully detailed cab.
The Prototype
The Mogul locomotive is an American classic. During the late 1800s and
early 1900s, more than 10,000 of these versatile locos were built for
freight and passenger service throughout North America. The term "Mogul"
refers to the "2-6-0" wheel configuration of these locos: two small
guide wheels followed by six big driving wheels and no trailing wheels. |

Bachmann Spectrum # 81794 1:20.3 Scale Narrow Gauge
Two-Truck Heisler
Road Name:
Oregon Lumber
Industrial railroads often operate in harsh conditions, requiring
specialized equipment to haul cargo from the field. During the steam
era, Heisler Locomotive Works of Erie, Pennsylvania answered the call
with geared locomotives that could easily navigate the challenging
grades and curves that were a part of everyday life for logging and
mining operations. Heisler’s unique designs provided incredible power
and stability without a significant loss of speed, a combination that
allowed the weighty locomotives to operate at a top speed nearly twice
that of their competitors. |

LGB 29192
Mogul
Road Name: Santa Fe
Here is an LGB
29192 Locomotive and Tender. This great locomotive features sounds,
smoke and digital control. The Santa Fe connected the towns of the
southwestern United States - the land of cattle drives, cowboys and
outlaws. This LGB model of an early Santa Fe loco features the
characteristic cowcatcher, the huge spark-arresting smoke stack (with
smoke generator), old-style lantern (with directional lighting) and
incredibly realistic LGB sound. It’s realistic because you hear digital
recordings of an actual steam locomotive, including the steam sounds,
whistle and bell, and additional sounds. You can see the flickering fire
in the firebox. With the Multi-Train System, you can trigger these
sounds individually anywhere on your layout. |

G Scale Big Hauler Bachmann early
Spectrum series.
Coal Creek Lumber Co #3 2-4-2 logging
locomotive with metal drivers, knuckle couplers, working headlight and
smoke, engineer and fireman
The
original British outline model was released in the mid-'90s. It was
painted in green livery and lettered Southern. It's a model of a Baldwin
locomotive that was built for the Lynton & Barnstable Railway which ran
between the resort towns for which it was named. The locals nicknamed it
"the Yankee".
Bachmann subsequently "Americanized" the locomotive and lettered it for
the fictional Coal Creek. Similar locomotives could have operated in
logging or mining service. |

Bachmann Spectrum #81491 1:20.3
Scale 2-6-0 Mogul
Road Name: Kansas Central
Along with a Baldwin 4-4-0, one of the
prototypes for our 2-6-0 hauled 4 million customers throughout the
grounds of the 1876 Centennial Exhibition held in Philadelphia. That’s
an impressive record of service this model is sure to emulate. The
2-6-0 Mogul Steam Locomotive went on to play a key role in the
development and growth of U.S. railroads, and then served lines
throughout the world. This style of locomotive was used extensively in a
variety of service throughout the United States. |

Bachmann Spectrum #81295 1:20.3
Scale 2-8-0 Narrow Gauge, Outside Frame Consolidation
The
2-8-0 narrow gauge, outside frame steam locomotive was a powerhouse in a
small package. Known affectionately as a “vest pocket” 2-8-0, the
locomotive was practically the size of today’s mini-vans. Small and
tough, the 2-8-0 was a workhorse that out-performed many of its larger
counterparts. Built by a variety of American locomotive builders, the
Consolidation was a standard and integral part of almost every narrow
gauge railroad. In fact, the 2-8-0 was exported to countries around the
world as late as the 1950’s. The Bachmann 2-8-0 Consolidation
reproduces a 1920’s Baldwin prototype that is still in
use today. Restored to better-than-new condition in Virginia City,
Montana, the
2-8-0 recently returned to limited operation in the fall of 2000 at the
Halls
of Baldwin museum. |

#23252 Forney Columbus
Sound, Smoke and MTS ready.
This is really a sweet little loco.
Forney locomotives were popular in
North America during the late 19th century. The truck under the cab and
fuel bunker made these locos run smoothly, and for short lines, the
Forney's ability to run in reverse as well as forward simplified
operations and eliminated the need for turntables. A few Forneys are
still in use, including the prototype for this model, which carries
tourists at a theme park |

#25872 Mikado - Steam Loco with Sound & MTS
Road Name: Southern Railway
The 2-8-2 “Mikados” were among
the most successful steam locomotives of all time. The first Mikados
were built in 1897 at the Baldwin Locomotive Works for the narrow gauge
railways of Japan. During World War I, the United States Railroad
Administration adopted the Mikado as its standard freight locomotive,
and more than a thousand “Mikes” were delivered to more than a dozen
American railways. Later, thousands more were supplied to railways
around the world. Many Mikados survived until the end of the steam era
in the 1950s, a clear indication for a successful design.

LGB #22130
Waimanalo Olomana Steam Loco
Railroads in Hawaii? Yes! The islands
were once crisscrossed with rail lines to serve the state's gigantic
sugar and fruit plantations. You can recreate this Pacific paradise with
this authentic Hawaiian steam loco.♂The real Olomana is now at the
Smithson's Museum in Washington, D.C., and this LGB model is as
elaborately decorated as the museum piece. A low-profile drive mechanism
preserves the authentic gap between the boiler and chassis. For
many years, this locomotive operated on a sugar plantation in Hawaii. It
was brought to California as a movie prop, but never used. The loco was
later restored and donated to the Smithsonian Museum in Washington,
D.C., where it is on display. |

Bachmann #82198 38 Ton
Two-Truck Shay
In the grand tradition of Bachmann's immensely
popular geared locomotive models, they now offer the Narrow Gauge 38
Ton, Two-Truck Shay. The 38 Ton Shay is modeled after Ely-Thomas #6,
which operates today on the New Jersey Museum of Transportation’s Pine
Creek Railroad in Allaire State Park. Like our previously offered 36 Ton
Shay (voted 1997 Product of the Year in Model Railroader’s Readers
Choice Awards), the 38 Tonner is equipped with the cutting-edge
technology and details that make Spectrum® geared locomotives so
successful. NOTE: Painted unlettered versions of this model include coal
and oil loads and diamond, onion, and tapered stacks. |

LGB #20251 SANDY RVER & RANGELEY LAKES FORNEY STEAM
LOCOMOTIVE
The model is a replica of Locomotive #22,
built by Baldwin in 1904 for the Sandy River and Rangeley Lakes Railroad
– located in Franklin County, Maine. The LGB 20251 is rare because of
its color scheme. There were about 1,000 of these models made with the
classic green tank and two tone red painted cab. There are three lamps,
one motor, and operating smoke. One LGB knuckle coupler (tender) was
added to complete the US railway appearance.
Forney locomotives were popular in
North America during the late 19th century. The truck under the cab and
fuel bunker made these locos run smoothly, and for short lines, the
Forney's ability to run in reverse as well as forward simplified
operations and eliminated the need for turntables. A few Forneys are
still in use, including the prototype for this model, which carries

LGB #25251 D&RGW Forney Steam
Locomotive
The Denver & Rio Grande Western is
perhaps the best-known narrow-gauge railway in North America. In its
heyday, from the 1880s to 1940s, the network carried countless travelers
and innumerable tons of freight over the mountain passes of western
Colorado. This LGB model recreates that era with a “Forney” type loco in
the prototypical colors and markings the D&RGW. Classic Forney features,
like the single frame and pivoting truck under the tender section, are
captured along with fine details like handrails and steam lines. |
