HO Scale Bachmann 2-8-0 Consolidation Steam Locomotive and Tender HOE-9. The Bachmann 2-8-0 consolidation steam locomotive HOE-9 is a vintage replica of classic Consolidation steam engines in 1:87 scale. This ready-to-go pre-built model features a black color and operates on a two-rail system with analog controls. Perfect for transportation-themed model railroads, this locomotive is a great addition to any HO scale collection, especially for enthusiasts of historic railroads like the Eldred Central. Made of plastic and designed by Bachmann, this steam locomotive offers a realistic and nostalgic piece of railway history. History: The "Consolidation Steam Engine" was conceived in the anthracite Rich Rolling hills of eastern Pennsylvania mountains when more power was required to negotiate the heavy grades than that then popular 4– 6–0 could provide. The invention of the radically turning two will lead truck in 1866 open the door for the creation of the 2– 8–0 consolidation and became the standard on most freight locomotives.
