Reply to "Bachmann G Emily"

Nope. It's a plastic G scale

4-4-2 ,

Bachmann (Emily with the moving eyes), an example of the Sterling engines developed by the Great Northern Railway (British) in 1870. Part of the "Thomas and Friends" large scale toy train series by Bachmann, #91404.

Not to scale but accurately proportioned. It has a nice "vintage" look. Paint is exceptional , most features molded in. The backhead is unadorned, so I had a sticker made up showing some boiler piping and details.

Lots of G scale folks have worked at making this model more accurate with detailed piping and castings. I like it as is but could not get used to the "moving eyes" or the blank boiler back head. I also wanted to add a little more GNR decals.

Really a unique engine. I have only ever seen it modeled in "live steam" large scale and in HO.

Wish MTH had made one in tinplate.

Thanks!
