OGR just (in current Apr/May issue) did a rave review on the Williams by Bachmann Ten Wheeler.  That looks like the kind of branch line locos I like, right out of Bebbe and Clegg's "Mixed Train Daily", and wonder if anybody has one up and running?  As always, I'd like to swap on a coal fired Wanderbilt, but OGR's photo of the body pulled off the tender displays a board and electronics that look to fill the length, if not the height, of the tender interior, and not squeasable into a round tank.

But, didn't I see that there was also going to be a companion freight loco..like a Consolidation or Mikado also coming from WbyB?

Curious....I just used some of this wretched press and stick lettering for

the signs around my Skelly bulk oil yard...just two tries got it this time,

and prefer something much better on rolling stock, especially engines...

does anybody "professionally" custom letter three rail steam engines, like for private roads, etc.?

Thanks...Silver Lake...SP means oil fired, but if the Lionel tender is plastic, that should be correctible. (and a lot cheaper than brass Vandy tenders, which are, in every one

I have ever seen, including at O scale shows, except attached to pricey brass O scale

C&O Mikados and Pacifics, oil fired, also)  That reminds me...didn't Lionel? MTH?,

catalog a C&O Pacific with a coal fired Vanderbilt?  I have never seen one in a show

and,  favoring freight engines, did not remember to follow up on it at the time.

It was several years ago...I would have jumped on a Mikado.
