Hello Lois:

This is a correction to the other reply I made last night. Still 
waiting for your reply also.
[A] I believe the Bachmann 611 locomotive is of the first "Pre 
Spectrum" run. As it doesn't
have any DCC Card or provision for one. The Aux Tender and the Loco 
are packed away
so I don't know if they have a rounded end instead of a flat end.

[B] The passenger cars I picked up were packaged in Bachmann Boxes 
with the cars made
by "Rivarossi". What follows is the  Update List of the cars I picked 
up. Brought home the
Dinner that I had at work.
[1] Item No. 43 - 1080 J1 Norfolk & Western Coach No. 1722
[2] Item No. 43 - 1080 J2 Norfolk & Western Coach No. 1724
[3] Item No 43 -1081 J6 Norfolk & Western Dinner No. 493, General 
William Mahone
[4] Item No. 43 - 1083 J3 Norfolk & Western Pullman Virginia 
Polytechnic Institute
[5] Item No. 43 - 1084 J4 Norfolk & Western Baggage No.128
[6] Item No. 43 - 1085 J5 Norfolk & Western Railway Post Office No., 93

Again, after checking the cars, the only markings they have on them 
are the Coach numbers,
and / or the name of the car. All are painted shinny Maroon with gold 
lettering and pin stripes.

[C] Detail Improvement Questions: [1] ideas for correcting the 
passenger car trucks that were
provided - to better ones, please cite manufacturer name and model. 
[2] Replacement of the
Horn Hook Couplers with [a] Kaydee or [b] McHenry couplers, [3] 
Adding more weight and
interior Lighting. Thank you for your time and consideration, Please 
Reply. Thanks.
