auxiliary tenders, BLI vs. Spectrum

[NW Modeling List]

I personally think the Spectrum auxiliary tenders can be used "as is", though they do need numbers, as no road number is painted on the model. I have compared it to the earlier Bachmann auxiliary tender (which is modeled after the excursion tender) and I find this one in detail and appearance the superior model.

Hi all, 


So there are two models of N&W Auxiliary tenders out there. Of the two, which one represents the '40s/50s variant and the other those used in excursion service? And of the two, which is seriously the better model? I one time owned the Spectrum variant and thought it looked good, but would imagine the BLI model is quite sublime. The Spectrum model, if you're willing to strip and repaint can be had quite inexpensively, while the BLI models if you can find them are not surprisingly way more expensive.
