Reply to "Would You Buy This Model?"

The October 2011 Model Railroader magazine introduced this stupendous Bachman EM 1-2-8-8-4 locomotive. Baldwin Iron Works manufactured thirty of them, delivering them all to B&O in the last two years of WW2. Easy to maintain and operate, they excelled in the mountainous regions of West Virginia.

In 1960,3589928 B&O retired the last one, marking the end of their use of steam. A restored loco was accidentally sent to a scrapyard, and none of these magnificent steam locomotives remain.
