| 29161 Bachmann Spectrum Rail Truck in Midwest Quarry and Mining Co livery. Along with the financial devastation of the Great Depression, the Rio Grande Southern faced natural disaster as well when a mudslide cut the railroad into two pieces. A divided line severely reduced rail traffic, and the struggle to remain financially solvent in the face of these difficulties inspired the RGS to develop Motor Car #1, a cost-effective solution to severely reduced passenger, freight, and US Mail traffic. Based on the replica of Rio Grande Southern Motor #1 that resides in Colorado’s Ridgeway Railroad Museum, the Bachmann DCC-equipped Rail Truck brings whimsy and realism to narrow gauge modeling.
Features include:
• DCC-equipped
• powered by realistic drive-shaft
• die-cast frame, bed, and hood
• LED headlights
• full interior with seats and instrument panel |
