[PRCo] Re: Bachman Spectrum HO Scale Peter Witt Cars

[Bob Dietrich]

This is an ongoing Word document.  Beyond what is in the document also added
all the glue-on parts and primed the car.  I'll get it painted ugly yellow
ASAP then put it together.  We have to determine the best way to ground all
wheels - we asked Bachmann - and a couple other little things.  I'll add to
the document as I get things done.  This document will get added to the East
Penn Web page.

I got my model last week, but haven't done anything with it yet.  It is a
great looking model.  I plan to paint mine in Detroit Colors - yea, close
but not exact.  

Bob - will you share with us what you needed to do to get a better turning
radius?

Fred-specifically they are the Bal'mer 6100 cars w/ 26 inch wheels and 4 
spring poles. Bob D. has successfully modified to take a 6 inch radius and 
is doing his as I'll do mine as a NCL version without the fruit salad 
treatment, A VERY nice model for which Bachmann is to be commended. 
MicroMark has the unpainted 'uns for $68.
