Faraway, I second your review. Once your get rid of that weird decoder, you get yourself a dantastic loco for detailling project. I recently purchased a Canadian National one. Though the colors are a litle bit of, it's still a good buy (anyway, I'll have to extensively redetail it).
The fact grabirons aren't include is very nice to model different prototype without having to scrap existing details.
@Chuck, it's worth the price.New Bachmann offerings are getting better and better these days. My most recent Bachmann were a pair of Chinese 2-10-2 QJ from the 2010 release (last summer total impulse buy). I didn't have time to install decoder until yesterday... Wow! Probably among the best steamers I ever bought (thought they don't pull as much as one could expect), details is great, nice control and first of all, excellent breakdown: tender pop out as easily as opening a pills bottle. I wish my U-2-g was as easy to handle.
