Stan, thank you for the info that I needed.

You mentioned the spacers and some you had done to Connie tender.  Any suggestions (hopefully your memory is better than mine)  Thank you Ted

My 2-8-0 tender trucks it the dust.  I know of problems, no need to rehash, and these already had the fix first identified by Dave Goodson when the Connie appeared.

Question 1: Are the Connie tender trucks from the parts site identical to the original trucks or has the problem been corrected?

Question 2:  Can I put K27 trucks on the Connie tender?  Are the bolster holes same diameter?

Question 3:  If I can use K27 trucks, how can I order the metal trucks and not the plastic trucks. 

Thanks in advance for any info.  Ted
