"The General" Train Overview:

Bachmann 4-4-0 American - Western and Atlantic "The General" With Wood Load. From moving troops and supplies in a divided nation to definitively uniting the country in steel at Promontory, it’s little wonder that the 4-4-0 is known simply as the “American.” Larger than its predecessors and powerful enough to transform the railroad into an essential transcontinental system, the 4-4-0 was further immortalized in later years as a star in countless Western movies. To this day, its classic appearance and opulent decoration evoke the adventurous spirit of the Old West and the pioneering determination of a nation in its youth!

The Bachmann 4-4-0 American is equipped with Soundtraxx Econami DCC for an immersive steam locomotive experience. Effects include a prototypical chuff, factory-programmed single chime whistle, bell, air pump, steam release, blower, and much more - all in 16-bit polyphonic sound. Your American adventure is calling with the Bachmann sound-equipped HO Scale 4-4-0!

Bachmann 4-4-0 American - Western & Atlantic "The General" With Wood Load
First saw this loco type in westerns when I was a kid (about 60 years ago). Have wanted to own one since then. Now I have one! Small thing, not expecting it to have much pulling power. Put it on my grade with five freight cars, and up the hill it went (about 2% grade). Haven't run it much yet, figuring out where to put it on my layout (it will replace a loco that has no sound). I like the sound it has. Want to throw in a review of A Main Hobbies. I ordered it, and they delivered it, in a timely manner. So I give A Main Hobbies five stars too.
