I just finished a 0-8-0 using a Bachmann 2-8-0 boiler and cab and the spectrum USRA short tender chassis . The drive is from a Japanese company it has scale 52" drivers. I have been using only Bachmann spectrum tenders behind most locomotives. I had to shorten the boiler on the cad end so that the cab would fit around the wide motor of the chassis.
Bachmann parts are great for kitbashers,even thought right now they are out of 2-8-0 shells.
Here is a short before and after kitbash video.

Thanks Bachmann for your great tenders.
Nice work RGW!
Thanks for posting.
I have several Spectrum tenders stashed for future bashes.
