could you list spectrum steam  locomotives that have been produced over the years a d the approximate dates?

will a Bachmann 2-4-0 N scale steam loco run on 8.5 radius track? I want to pull Civil war cars and I own a Spectrun that is quite old but runs perfectly.

I bought two passenger cars from a dealer that was going out of business.
They have an old style couplers that do not work as well as the couplers on my new cars. How can I get some new style replacements? I have no local dealer.

I have an 18" minimum radius and operate a 2 truck climax with short trains on 4% grades. Will a 2 truck shay perform equally well on this part of my layout?

Sorry - I now see that the childs track is Kato. Thanks for the answer anyway.

With the tract connected on a flat surface how do you use the supplied to remove a section?
Thanks  Paul powell

I am now building a Grandt On3 Bobber kit to use with my Bachmann freight equipment. Your several replies to my original questions have been very helpful. I now have two questions. First-which E-Z coupler would be best to use for this modification? Second-which size NWSL On30 wheels {18" or 20"}would make the coupler height adjustment easier?

Thanks for your help

I want to build a "bobber"from a Bachmann On30 caboose. Can you buy an undecorated car "kit" or must I first take one apart to get the components? Does anyone have another suggestion for a small caboose that is compatable (coupler height ect) for On30.

Different topic- I wanted a short flat car for my Quarryand I found that it is quite easy to cut out the center section of a Bachmann flat car with a fine saw, glue it back together using the parts that fall out when the frame is cut, and you have a neat small car.
