Title: Another "Russian" question
Post by: Frisco_Manny on September 01, 2007, 09:11:09 PM
Does the undecorated version of the 2-10-0 Russian come with the doghouse for the tender, or do you have to buy the Frisco version to get it. I really want to have the doghouse on mine. I plan on having 5 or 6 Russian's, all with Vanderbuilt tenders except 1 or 2.

Thanks,

Frisco Manny

I don't think bachmann makes vanderbuilt's for the 2-10-0 nor vanderbuitls with doghouses.

I still need to get one, but they do come with doghouses, correct? (this may be a dumb question, for I have seen many! :P)

My understanding is that the undecorated comes with a doghouse.  I've never seen a Vanderbilt tender with a doghouse on it.

Haha,

No! No! I know Vanderbuilt's don't come with doghouses. I was referring to the stock tender that came with the engine. I'm glad to see that the undecorated model comes with the doghouse.

I have always been a Vanderbuilt tender fan. I'm also a clearview tender fan as behind the P2K 0-8-0. Wonder? Has anyone put one of the P2K tenders behind a Spectrum engine? I think the clearview would look awesome behind the 2-8-0.

Thanks,

Manny

It's possible that the small Vanderbilt will mate with the Decapod.  If not, swap curcuit boards with the tender that came with the locomotive.  You may have to trim a bit. 
I believe that Roger has modified a P2K clear vision to run behind Spectrums.

He has, two of them, they run behind two of my six (At last count) 2-8-0s.
