#1

Hi folks!

are there any daylight pictures available showing the Bachmann’s K27 with green boiler ?
All what I saw so far are the two photograps on Bachmans Gallery and very small pictures in some internet dealer advertisment. Anything better available to help with the decission black or green??

Thanks

Nik

The GR review has photos on a trestle, in the daylight, of a green-boilered, pre-wreck, 455.

455 was badly wrecked on Dallas Divide in 1943 when the 26 car train lost it’s air on a 4% grade:
