Not my era, but....

AHA! As I recall, the Bachmann Spectrum 2-8-0 has as it's prototype the Reading Company I10s Consolidation! Ya gotta love that wide Wooten firebox ... you can spot that fat firebox and the equally fat boiler of the I10s from a long way off.

The spectrum locomotive is a rather generic baldwin prototype. Bachmann used to offer an I10 in their "train set" or standard line, back in the 1980s and early 1990s. They looked okay (fora plastic locomotive back then) but ran lousy due to the infamous "pancake motor". For awhile, they re-tooled the mechanism with a more traditional motor and worm gear, and sold the locomotive under the "Bachmann plus" line. The Spectrum 2-8-0 replaced the I10 model, as I have heard rumors that the molds and tooling used to produce the I10 had either worn out or broken. They also sold an N-scale I10, but I am not sure if it is still available.
