Remember I am the guy who gets excited about steam.Can't read the loco number, H-5, or H-6?, I believe all the H-4's were gone by the late 30's. My guess would be, a Bachmann Spectrum, which would be an H-5. In any case I do like C&O articulated steam.
Yea haz-mat, passenger trains flush onto the tracks and he is worried about haz-mat OK.
Yes it is an H5. Yes it is a Bachmann. No it doesn't run like a Bachmann. It is one sweet running Locomotive. It is used only on my crooked creek mine run. It takes 18 empty cars from Clifton Forge. Pulling 12 and pushing 6 with caboose on each end. The reason for this is that there are mines going both directions and no place to pass. Makes for an interesting run. When it finishes the run it goes to the round house where it stays until next crooked creek run.
