Designed for improved visibility for the engineer during operation, the locomotive was one of the earliest diesels to feature a wide cab and a narrow long hood, allowing for a clearer view when operating reverse movements. With styling cues taken from the streamliners of its time, the BL2 has remained popular with railfans throughout the years. Originally utilized for both freight and passenger duties on secondary lines, examples can still be found in service today, handling excursions and short-line freight runs. The Bachmann BL2 arrives with DCC on Board, featuring new and existing tooling, authentic paint schemes, and directional LED headlights. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Features:\u003cbr\u003e New and existing tooling\u003cbr\u003e Highly detailed painted bodies with precision graphics\u003cbr\u003e Dual-mode NMRA-compliant DCC decoder\u003cbr\u003e Directional headlights with Rule 17 dimming\u003cbr\u003e Magnetically operated E-Z Mate Mark II couplers\u003cbr\u003e Blackened machined metal wheels with RP25 contour\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Bachmann Trains","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42620991766591,"sku":"BAC-69204","price":289.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0269\/7461\/7663\/files\/69204_1.jpg?v=1764046989","url":"https:\/\/factorydirecthobbies.com\/products\/bachmann-ho-69204-emd-bl2-western-maryland-82","provider":"Factory Direct Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
