Who Manufactured this HO Steam Locomotive & Tender?

My brother asked me to repair an HO-scale steam locomotive that an older gentleman gave him some time ago. We're curious about the who manufactured it and when. Any ideas?

Cars with interiors

I have been working on cars that have interiors, specifically cabooses. A caboose is a good candidate to have an interior. They were used in the early part of the last century as a mobile office. They had closets, desks, a stove for heat and a coffee pot. Some had sleeping bunks and a cupola for a better view of the train.

MDC/Roundhouse Sand & Gravel Hoppers

Hello everyone, I'm looking for instructions for the MDC Sand  & Gravel Hoppers. I have five of them in kit form that I picked up some time ago and am finally getting around to building them, but without instructions. The basic car is easy to get together, but putting the small mechanism parts together without instructions is going to be pretty difficult.

If anyone has a sheet of instructions that they could fax, email, or mail to me I'd be eternally grateful.

Thanks for any and all help.

Bachmann S-2 frame + Atlas S-2 shell

I was wondering if anyone here has tried and/or had success with mating the old Atlas S-2/S4 shell to the new Bachmann ALCO S-2 fame w/sound? I know Atlas will be releasing a newly tooled S-unit with sound EVENTUALLY, but I have a line on both the Bachmann and Atlas engines NOW, and at good prices, but I also don't want to get stuck with them if the idea doesn't work. I don't mind putting in a little work (grind, file, cut) to fit them together, but I don't want to risk destroying them either, know what I mean?
