Popular Locos, Some Flaws Updated 1/18/2005
1 Popular Locos, Some Flaws updated 1/18/2005 As a result of numerous installations performed at Tony’s Train Exchange, here are some of our observations concerning some BACHMANN popular locos. By and large, all the following locos, except as noted, Bachmann Spectrum Mountain 4-8-2 represent good investments. The detail and the running gear are comparable to their first Tony’s Train Exchange will update this information when war- release, the acclaimed, Consolidation 2-8-0. Generally the 4-8-2 has ranted. been cast in the “same mold”. Because it is larger than the 2-8-0, the 4-8-2 has good hauling power (10 Spectrum Heavy Passenger units over a 4% grade). ATHEARN However, some of these early production units have been released Athearn Gen.2-8-2 Mikado. that exhibit the following problems: Athearns first entry into the steam market is impressive. The 2-8-2 (A) Bent or distorted electrical pick-up wipers on the loco’s main rivals the Bachmann Spectrum steam series! The appearance and drivers. There are eight of these phosphor-bronze wipers, one on detail is excellent, and the running gear is precision Korean format each of the loco’s main drivers that have been designed to wipe the consistent with their brass offerings. The electrical pick-up is inside rims. We found some of these wipers distorted and wiping on accomplished by using split axles and frame. Therefore no wipers are the spoke area. These can be repositioned by using a suitable required, a big plus in my opinion. -

Railking 4-6-6-4 Challenger Steam Engine Operating Instructions
RAILKING 4-6-6-4 CHALLENGER STEAM ENGINE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Thank you for purchasing this model of the Union Pacific Challenger. This RailKing Steam Engine contains state-of-the-art electronics with many built-in automatic features for incredibly realistic operation. Despite these advanced features, the locomotive is easy to operate on an O-31 layout with any compatible standard AC transformer (see the compatibility chart on pg. 18), and is completely compatible with most other 3-rail locomotives, rolling stock, and accessories. This locomotive is equipped with Proto-Sound 2.0 with Digital Command System (DCS). This new system will allow you to operate your locomotive in Command mode (when used with the DCS Remote Control System, sold separately) or Conventional mode. Conventional operating features are described in the following pages, while the DCS operating features are covered in the set of operating instructions that accompanies the DCS equipment. Conventional Mode operation of this locomotive is much simpler than operation of original Proto-Sound engines. For your own safety and that of your equipment, please read the instructions before you operate this engine.

Union Pacific Challenger Project Information
Union Pacific Challenger Project Information Kohs & Company Sample Model The Union Pacific 'late' Challengers (classes 4664-3, 4 & 5), our second Union Pacific project, were significant for their service to the railroad during a critical period in railroading history and were arguably the best known locomotives of the type. These ALCO built locomotives were delivered between 1942 and 1944 in three production orders totaling sixty-five units. There were six additional locomotives ordered by the War Production Board as part of the second Union Pacific order and those were allo- cated to the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad during World War II where they operated as that road’s L-97 class. After the war those same six locomotives were sold by the 'WPB' to the Clinchfield Railroad where they became the E-3 class. While sharing many of the design features of the Union Pacific 'Big Boy', the Challenger’s wheel arrangement allowed the class to operate system-wide including areas where the 4884 class could not. Fast freight was the intended specialty, but many Chal- lengers saw passenger service as well, particularly in the Northwest area of the system. When new, the entire class was coal fired, but shortly after the final order was delivered the Union Pacific began converting a number of locomotives to oil fired operation specifically for passenger service. Although not the biggest or most powerful, many consider these well proportioned locomo- tives to be among the most aesthetically pleasing ever built and we agree. The last of the 'late' Challengers left service in 1961. -
