Discover the complete range of HO scale Bachmann Trains locomotives, featuring authentic steam, diesel, and electric models that bring American railroad history to life on your model railroad layout. From classic steam power like the iconic 4-4-0 American and powerful 4-6-4 J3a Hudson to modern diesel workhorses including the EMD GP40 and SD40-2, plus contemporary electric power like the Siemens ACS-64, Bachmann delivers exceptional detail, reliable operation, and outstanding value across every era of railroading.
Bachmann's steam locomotive lineup captures the romance and power of the steam era with meticulously detailed models featuring operating smoke units, precision metal drivers, and authentic railroad paint schemes. The legendary 4-4-0 American represents the locomotive that united the nation at Promontory Summit, now available with DCC Sound Value equipped with Soundtraxx Econami featuring prototypical chuff, whistle, bell, and steam effects in 16-bit polyphonic sound. The magnificent New York Central Hudson arrives with TCS WOWSound CD-quality audio including Keep-Alive technology for uninterrupted operation and Audio Assist for easy programming. Additional steam power includes the versatile Baldwin 2-8-0 Consolidation, classic 2-6-2 Prairie, and the impressive Norfolk & Western Class J 4-8-4, the last mainline steam locomotive to operate in the United States.
The diesel locomotive collection showcases American railroading from the first-generation transition era through modern operations. EMD's legendary GP series dominates freight operations with the GP7 that revolutionized diesel locomotive design in 1949, the powerful GP35 representing second-generation diesel technology, and the ubiquitous GP40 available in multiple road names with DCC Sound Value. Heavy freight power arrives with the EMD SD40-2, EMD's best-selling six-axle locomotive with nearly 4,000 units built. First-generation power includes the historic EMD FT-A that convinced railroads to embrace diesel technology, plus Alco RS-3 models representing the competition. Modern electric traction power features the Siemens ACS-64 with TCS WOWSound including pantograph operation, plus the legendary Pennsylvania Railroad GG-1 electric locomotive.
Bachmann locomotives feature DCC-ready designs with factory-installed 8-pin sockets, DCC Sound Value models with Soundtraxx Econami decoders, and premium DCC sound-equipped versions with TCS WOWSound and Keep-Alive technology. All models include operating LED headlights, precision motors, die-cast frames, blackened metal wheels with RP25 contours, and E-Z Mate Mark II knuckle couplers for reliable operation.

Diesel locomotive offerings cover every generation of American diesel-electric motive power from the 1940s transition era through contemporary operations. The historic EMD FT-A represents the locomotive that convinced American railroads to abandon steam, featuring authentic EMD design, all-wheel drive, and die-cast frame construction. First-generation road switchers include the revolutionary EMD GP7 that established the hood unit design still used today, plus Alco RS-3 models representing EMD's primary competition. Second-generation power dominates with the versatile EMD GP35 and ubiquitous GP40 available in dozens of authentic railroad paint schemes from Baltimore & Ohio, Norfolk Southern, Reading, Western Pacific, CSX, Canadian National, Milwaukee Road, and Boston & Maine. Heavy six-axle freight power features the EMD SD40-2, one of the most successful diesel locomotives ever built with nearly 4,000 units delivered between 1972 and 1989, featuring all-wheel drive, dual precision-balanced flywheels, and fine-scale handrails. Modern electric traction includes the Siemens ACS-64 with TCS WOWSound featuring horn, bell, cooling fan, pantograph extension and retraction, and station announcements, plus selector switch for rail or pantograph operation.
Every Bachmann locomotive benefits from decades of engineering refinement ensuring smooth, reliable operation on home layouts. DCC-ready models include factory-installed 8-pin sockets accepting any NMRA-compliant decoder, while DCC Sound Value locomotives arrive with Soundtraxx Econami dual-mode decoders providing 16-bit sound, lighting control, and advanced motor control for refined low-speed operation.
