    I believe that they only had a pilot model (Pere Marquette) or photo of a pilot model there. Way to early in the process to tell.

    I'll be sure to buy one for my fledgling N scale Frisco loco fleet. Then I'll have a Mikado, an RS2 and an SD45. Plus I have plans to make my Atlas 4-4-0 a Frisco loco as well. A loco for each era!:)

    The January 2016 issue of Model Railroader has an advertisement from Bachmann saying that these are now shipping. The ad indicates it is #4027.

    There is also a Bachmann photo at:

    or
    http://shop.bachmanntrains.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=258_276_977&products_id=5930

    Anyone here have a copy in-hand? Any reviews? Thoughts from this photo? Looks like a low-end model in terms of detail...wrong tender, etc.

    Thanks,

    -Bob T.
