Model Review Bachmann™ E60CP/CH - Amtrak Electric Locomotive

[Ken S. 4]

Bachmann recently rereleased its model of the E60 in two paint schemes and numbers.[float=right][/float]

971 which went to New Jersey Transit with the same number is in the Phase II scheme and 974 which became 600 during the rebuild is in the Phase III scheme.

 

The unit is a decent puller, it pulled a consist of 2 Bachmann Amfleets, 3 Walthers Amfleets, a Walthers Viewliner (the Walthers 10-6 I was going to use kept derailing), and a Walthers Baggage car with ease.

 

The unit is DCC equipped and currenty retails at Trainworld for $70.

 

All in all, I'd give it a 5 on a scale of 1 to 5.
