Pards,
I am a newbie and green. I have not had a model train since I was about 12 which is over 40 years ago. I have always loved trains, especially the steam era.
I jumped in today and ordered myself a new engine and cars to get started with.
I ordered a H O scale, USRA 2-10-2 Bachmann Spectrum and the four car set of Bachmann Spectrum Heavy Passenger cars. The Engine is the Southern 5212 and the Cars marked Southern also. I know basically the time era for the Engine, but my question.
Are the cars I purchased acceptable to use for this Locomotive in the same time period. Also, What would be an appropriate caboose to use with this engine. I have a lot of studying to do, but would appreciate any help. Many thanks.
