Review: Nice engine but needs more than 18 inch curve - Very nice locomotive but will not fit on 18 inch curve track.
Review: Derailment - I bought three of these engines: #1-the wheels on the back of the tender fell off and the wires to the engine were not connected to the plug. Paid Bachmann to repair. The front truck would derail the engine. I removed it. Number 2 and 3 had the same problem with the front truck I also removed them. One and two where purchased from desertcart and three was purchased from Buchmann. Montie
