Does anyone know what era the Bachmann 40' tank cars represent? I model the mid 20s and wonder if they'd look out of place. I'm not a stickler for exact prototype appearance but I'd prefer not to have cars that are glaringly too modern for my layout.

Thanx for any responses!

Just got my 15th Spectrum consolidation, this time one of the new dcc / sound equipped ones and I'm very, very happy with it. It ran like a Swiss watch without even any break in period and the sound is spectacular.

Only one problem: the front truck of the tender rides up a bit, just enough to derail it. It's probably because of upward pressure either from the drawbar or the connecting wires. I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to tackle correcting it.

Thanx,

New to this forum so I apologize in advance if the subject has been covered already!

An ad in the current MR for one of the large mail order companies lists under "NEW" a Spectrum 2-8-2. This is the first I've heard about it and I'm looking for some information such as road names available, delivery date, etc.

Thanks very much for any information.
