Excellent video and that is a great looking steamer

Well photographed. You held the subject in the frame, unlike most U-tube train films which are endless run-bys and thus absolutely boring. BTW, does the EM-1 use Bachmann's usual system of phosphor bronze wipers for pickup of current from the drivers, or is it a (better) split frame?

@Iabrams3985 Thanks for the props! Looks like it's using wipers, not the split frame.

[CommanderCodarino]

also what radius curves will it hit?

[CommanderCodarino]

does it run well? any faults? any pros or cons?

[rcgrabbag]

@CommanderCodarino Runs great, pulls a good-sized consist. No cons so far.

[CommanderCodarino]

@rcgrabbag what radius curves will it hit? And is there and cab or rear lighting

[rcgrabbag]

@CommanderCodarino Minimum recommended radius is 22". The only 'rear' lighting is a reverse light in the tender.

I do not have much confidence in the bachmann model but it seems to work very well.
