The Bachmann Shay is an incredible engine but it is starting to show it's age. The Climax has features that were not on the Shay and it adds to the options you don't have with the Shay.. An example would be the battery vs track power switch which is not on the Shay. Now Bachmann needs to make the last major geared engine.

I bought this based on the Bachmann 3-truck Shay loco I acquired some years ago. It was a superb performer and this Climax is also and at a reasonable price. It had no problem hauling 10 weighted cars on 4' radius S-curves over a badly aligned test track. It is very smooth at low speeds and when starting and stopping. It actually exceeded my expectations given that it only has 2 driven trucks, not three like the Shay. It is a great addition to my logging loco collection.

I have been considering this purchase for months it is exactly what I need for my layout. The only issue is that part of the drive train was not connected. Nothing is missing so as soon as I find the best way to attach it I will will be running it on my layout.
