The Schnabel car is one of the largest freight cars ever made, and each is designed for a specific purpose. Senior editor Jim Hediger reviews Bachmann’s new HO scale model of the unique car, and he provides some tips on operating one realistically on your layout.
Pretty good video. A little disappointed in that it is titled "full in depth review" but it wasn't unless you count the fact that he referred you to a magazine article. No ballpark price range. No minimum curve specifications. No mention of other loads being available.
Did Bachmann augment existing molds? Otherwise, I don't understand why they based it on a Chinese prototype.
I'm surprised at how well it tracked through those turnouts. Would had liked to see more of that. The review almost makes me want one though it would be era appropriate for 1900. 🙂
