Hello everyone!
I have this HOlocomotive made by Bachmann China and I couldn't find it on the web to see what model is representing and what's it worth. Can you help me?
Thanks

That's a Northern, 4-8-4, and with the smokestack deflector, appears to be a Santa Fe prototype. Your pictures are way too large to work with - cut them down in size and use 72 DPI in the resizing before web posting. Need to show what the tender looks like. If the tender has two 8 wheel buckeye trucks, then it's definitely a Santa Fe model run. If the tender is a centipede model, then it could be a NYC or a Southern, though then differing side skirts and smoke deflectors would be present on the engine. There does appear to be attachment points for possible deflector 'ears' that may mean it originally may have been a NYC prototype, with the deflector ears removed.

The color scheme may well be a custom paint and lettering. Bachmann ran several of these style models in their DCC equipped line. New cost was about $ 185.00.
