Bachamnn Spectrum 2-6-0 Mogul - Glenbrook

The Bachmann Spectrum 1:20.3 scale model of the "Glenbrook", a Baldwin Mogul (2-6-0)

Let's start with the bad news... THERE ISN'T ANY. So done with that...

It runs. Well. It seems it will not spin its gears. The later Bachmann Spectrum's, like this one, have a keyed axle and gear. Thousands of early Bachmann Spectrum 4-4-0s, Moguls, Shays, and others have this near-fatal flaw. Also installation of DCC or sound requires a total rewire of the locomotive on the early Spectrums. But these have a removable coal load with a plug for DCC or whatever, switches to change the format, direction light systems, etc.

The details are near perfect. The paint is perfect, or close to it. I am planning a few alterations. Weather... JUST A HINT. Flat black and soot on the stack. Real coal load. DCC. Bare Metal Foil roof. Well... That's about it. Cause PERFECT.

We have been double-heading the loco with Eureka as Eureka rolls freely with the broken gear and the lights still come on and it looks great. B
