This model locomotive is part of the Bachmann Spectrum series, known for its detailed and high-quality models. The "Rio Grande Southern" lettering on the tender indicates the specific railroad line it represents, and "2-6-0 Mogul" describes the locomotive's wheel arrangement (two leading wheels, six driving wheels, and zero trailing wheels). Features of such models often include LED headlights, realistic firebox glow, can motors, and metal frames, among others.
