  • A rather rare version of Bachmann's overland limited 4-8-4. Not only is this the early tooling type that used the shell from their Santa Fe 4-8-4, but this unit features the rather good plus drive. Enjoy the sights and sounds of this pseudo Early FEF 1 in action

    Thank you for posting this! I had one like this with the Overland Limited trainsets as a Christmas gift as a kid. I loved that engine. I think I painted it black (horribly) and put a Preiser engineer figure in it. I put many, many HO scale miles on running the 4x8 layout I had long ago.

    Ah yes the Santa Fe 4-8-4 substituting as an FEF-1, a smooth runner compared to more recent DCC models. Great video!

      At least it ain’t a New York Central Niagara that’s been lazily painted! Seriously, Bachmann needs to work out these prototypes.

      It is a Niagara that has just been repainted without the smoke deflectors.

    Been watching your videos for awhile, have 12+ Rivarossi's, so I'm partial to your collection. I did go back and look at a few of your layout videos, but I didn't catch the actual size. It appears wider than my 4 x 8, as your track layout has more options than I could fit. If I had to do it again (and I might, I started mine in 2017), I might opt for track on plywood vs. going on foam, since I'm more a "run the trains guy" vs a scenery artist anyway.

      Because it Bachman. Bachman model are known for being light and little to no grip. I recommend to find a order model that not Bachman. They are more powerful.

    Are these more reliable than the normal split chassis locomotives?

      In general yes the Bachmann plus chassis is more reliable than earlier pancake versions.
