Bachmann America has released a new G Scale locomotive in the form of the Davenport 0-4-0 Gas Mechanical shunter.

Faced with unprecedented economic pressure at the end of the steam era in America, locomotive manufacturers developed a variety of fuel and engine alternatives in search of a locomotive that could compete in the industrial market. One such locomotive was the Davenport 0-4-0 gas mechanical shunting locomotive.

Along with the financial devastation of the Great Depression, the Rio Grande Southern faced natural disaster as well when a mudslide cut the railroad into two pieces. A divided line severely reduced rail traffic, and the struggle to remain financially solvent in the fact of those difficulties inspired the RGS to develop Motor Car No 1, a cost effective solution to severely reduced passenger and freight traffic. Based on the replica of the RGS Motor No 1 that resides in the Colorado's Ridgeway Railroad Museum, our large scale Rail Truck brings whimsy and realism to narrow gauge modeling.
