The Bachmann EMD FT Erie Diesel Locomotive, model number 11708 (BA-2289-999/0228991), is a popular hobbyist model representing the Erie Lackawanna Class E6B locomotive. This model is a finely detailed representation of the real-life EMD FT diesel locomotive, which was widely used on the Erie Lackawanna Railroad. In this analysis, we will explore the pros and cons of purchasing this model train, and provide a concluding recommendation.

1. Authentic Detail: This model is meticulously detailed to resemble the real-life Erie Lackawanna Class E6B locomotive, featuring EMD's signature "567" engine and dynamic brake equipment, as well as accurately represented cab walls, handrails, and other exterior features.

2. Operational Capability: The 11708 is ready-to-run (RTR) and features a powerful 5-pole motor, which provides excellent pulling power and capabilities. Additionally, the model is DCC-readilly, allowing for advanced control features such as speed regulation, directional lighting, and multiple unit operation.

3. Multiple Road Numbers Available: This model is available in various road numbers representing different Erie Lackawanna Class E6B locomotives, providing hobbyists with a wide range of options to populate their model railroad layouts with historically accurate rolling stock.

4. Easy to Operate: The 11708 is simple to operate and set up, requiring no assembly or extensive wiring. It also comes with a factory-installed talk-through Coupler, allowing for easy connection to other rolling stock.

1. Price: The 11708 is priced higher than some other model trains of similar size and complexity, and may not be budget-friendly for all hobbyists.

2. Limited Sound and Lighting: Unlike some more advanced model trains, the 11708 does not feature factory-installed realistic engine or cab sounds, nor does it have individual wheels pick-up for independent truck sounds. Similarly, it does not feature realistic directional lighting.

3. Functional Issues: Some customers have reported issues with the locomotive's functioning, such as erratic wheel pick-up and stuttering motor. While these issues may be rare, they can cause frustration and additional expense for hobbyists seeking a reliable rolling stock addition to their layout.

The Bachmann EMD FT Erie Diesel Locomotive, model number 11708 (BA-2289-999/0228991), offers a high level of authentic detail and operational capability, making it an excellent choice for hobbyists seeking to populate their layouts with historically accurate rolling stock. However, the model comes with a higher price point and may lack some advanced sound and lighting features. Ultimately, the decision to purchase the 11708 depends on one's budget and priorities as a model railroading enthusiast. For those seeking a finely detailed operative diesel locomotive with authentic features, the 11708 is a solid choice. For those seeking more advanced sound and lighting features, or a more budget-friendly model, alternative options may be worth considering.
