YES SIR,

That's the kind of info I was looking for.  Received the same advice
on another forum.  Look's like I'll pass!

Thanks,

D.K.

I'm not trying to be a smart alec, Ram, but this is the BACHMANN
site! Why would I ask the BACHMANN about another brand?

Yes. it is a Bachman engine.  I should have realized other brands are
discussed here? Sorry.

Regards,

D.K.

I have a chance to buy a vintage Mike, but the owner doesn't know the minimum radius the engine will negotiate.

Anyone have a clue?

Thanks,

D.K.

UH. OH!

I am a newbie and recently retired boomer.

I just bought a spectrum 2-8-0 and a separate medium Vanderbuilt tender
since I like that one best.

Just noticed here that all spectrum tenders won't always interchange?

Will the medium Vandy work with my consolidation?  The UP version uses the medium Vandy, so I thought a simple swap would be OK?

Secondly, my pike under construction is a simple dog-bone affair.  Will
the Digitraxx Zephyr work?

Would the LoKsound 3.5 #82455 be a good sound decoder for plug and play with this arrangement?

Thanks,

D.K.
