Bachmann modified by Ted York

Hallmark model

"I Santa Fe-ized a Bachman consolidation some time ago. While the locomotive was far from a perfect prototype I wanted to support Bachman for it's entry into the plastic steam market - a move long overdue. I kept the project pretty simple. I changed the railing around the boiler, added number boards, scraped off the three hatches and replaced it with one, added a better whistle and bell and lines to them, modified the size of the cab window, added an oil bunker to the tender along with various hatches and a light, and that was about it. Because the holes in the boiler were as large as the domes I didn't bother modifying them. While my loco is not an exact duplicate of 2522 I did have I fellow at first glance ask me if it was a Hallmark."
