Things you can do with a Bachmann 4-6-0

[Fred2179G]

I have enjoyed seeing some interesting models derived from the Bachmann 4-6-0 on this site. Looking at eBay, I found this amazing offering:

Custom LNER Flying Scotsman 4-6-0 Locomotive - G Scale - Bachmann - Sound | eBay

The same seller has this, which he claims is Bachmann:



Bachmann Brass 0-6-0 European Locomotive - Maroon / Black - G Scale / Gauge 1 | eBay

File under "the weird and wonderful world of model trains" ?

Here is my offering to this thread. Scratch body on an original first import to the UK going back to the 1980’s. Now has hand operated regulator in the cab and works just fine.

Flying Fifteen has done a fair few exciting mods

Doesn't actual look as if there's too much left of the original model in some of those

Well most of the time I’ve bought Annie or Big Hauler chassis direct from Bachmann Parts so there isn’t too much waste.
Occasionally if I come across a secondhand loco I have generally disposed of the body etc, although I have down scaled to approx 1/29 proportions an old body and parts to make a (hopefully) passable standard gauge US ten wheeler

Perhaps one of the locos I ought to consider building along with another Irish narrow gauge 0-6-2T

I made one into a Queensland Australian, tank engine.
