Here is my other On30 engine. It is a Bachmann 2-6-0 that is numbered 138. As far as I can tell it is not a prototype, but I am still looking. The closes thing that it matches is a early D&RGW T-12 4-6-0.This engine is actual part of a set that Bachmann sells for around $200. I did not buy the set but pieces of the set off ebay. I was more interested in the passenger cars that came with the set, but after biding and winning those, I was in the "zone" and started bidding on the engine. The engine is not very powerful but it is fast. It can pull about five cars without any trouble, but any more than that and you will see it start to struggle. It has a working headlight and is ready to run out of the box. The Bumble Bee paint scheme is classic and looks great pulling the passenger cars. This is a great addition to the D&RGW model railroad and will see its share of action.
