Reply to "Williams Ten Wheeler"

The 4-6-0 tender is a nice, scale USRA tender. It matches exactly, in overall dimensions, my Samhongsa 8-wheel, brass USRA tender. I presume that this tender was slated to follow the dead Williams USRA 2-8-2? Of course, I have a Williams USRA
2-8-2. By Samhongsa; it's brass. There's almost always one on auction.

I was around a couple of "traditional" die-cast Williams steamers last week (the Lionel-clone Berk and 027 Hudson),
and, after seeing my new 4-6-0 run, was even more put off by those two locos and their awful gearing and
running characteristics. Terrible. Maybe Bachmann can fix them - it's just gearing.

Bachmann is the reason that the new low-priced 4-6-0 is so well-engineered. (But about the cheesy main rod...)
