Bachmann 2-8-0 Tender Capacity

Model Railroader General Discussion (Model Railroader)

Can some owner of a Spectrum 2-8-0 do me a favor? I just bought two of the engines but they are unlettered and so I don’t know what the water and coal capacity of the tenders are. This is usually lettered on the rear of the tender. I need to know so that I can do the decals for them. (I’ll take a guess and say 12,000 gallons and 10 tons. How close am I?) Thanks in advance.

Mine says 16 tons and 10,000 gallons. That said, the tender looks like an USRA mikado tender–seems a little big for a 2-8-0.
