After so many years of running steam in O gauge, it doesn't seem right that all my N scale stuff is diesel. I want to find a small steamer to run on my layout perhaps with a few early era passenger cars.
I don't want a huge long monster like a 4-8-4 or anything.
I'd like to find a 2-4-0 that would handle 9-3/4" turns.
(Just in case since my layout isn't built yet)
I'd like to keep it under $100 but many of you have said a steamer isn't worth the money until it's over a Benjamin. That being the case, I'm willing to entertain ideas up to a bill and a half or so.
Anybody have any experience with the Bachmann American? I know they only list around $40 or so. I ask because I found one in CB&Q and I'd like to grab it. Feel free to shoot it down if you want and I'll leave it alone.
