Best runner up: Bachmann N Scale Steam Locomotive

We know from years of feedback from readers, customers and amazon sellers, what most people want in a locomotive. This product is exactly that - it's a simple product that hits all the right notes. This narrow gauge HO scale engine that runs on N gauge track. It can negotiate minimum 11.25" minimum gauge track. It features die-cast construction to add to that it is available in both ho and large scale. It comes in a box instead of the blister packages that the ho scale does.

It's much smaller than the HO scale, but it depicts Skarloey's size more accurately. It is made for Skarloey to be easier to connect. It comes with no tension between the cars, the couplers will open automatically. This is a narrow gauge HO scale engine that runs on N gauge track.

Why We Like This:

Highly detailed skarloey steam style locomotive
A dry, firm, flat surface works best
Delivers what they promise
