Apologies right away for not having more info on this! My son & I recently saw some CPR and CNR HO diesels for sale for only $39.99 at a heritage railway near Toronto. They were made by Bachmann -- I think they were models of GP30s or similar. My son wanted to buy one and I was tempted since the price was good and the detailing looked pretty good as well.
Bachmann Europe make some British steam & diesel locos and they're top-of-the-line -- very well detailed and superb running. However, I think the N. American version of Bachmann makes several budget -- or should I say, "ultra-budget" -- models that aren't that great. Even though the price was good and the detailing looked good too , on these North American Bachmann locos (the models my son & I saw), I didn't want to buy one because I immediately assumed they were no good.
Can anyone else offer any feedback re the quality of Bachmann's N. American locos? I'll try to provide more details when/if I can!
Thanks in advance,
Rob
