Greetings!
My first foray into the world of Steam. (Presently I run modern stuff like GE B40-8's and EMD GP38-2s, but am looking to expand my horizons).
I'm thinking of adding a few steam locos to my roster to run transition-era operating sessions, and to start I'm thinking of picking up an HO Bachmann Spectrum Pennsy K4 Pacific.
I'm sure there are owners of this loco on this forum-- Can you advise me if it's a good entry-level buy, or should I be looking at something else? Basically for now I just need a reliable DC loco (DCC upgrade capability a plus) compatible with sharp curves for under $100.
Thanks!
