1) The bell on the prototype is hung from the front, not mounted on top of=20
the locomotive just in front of the stack;
2) There is a small tank on the front (I don't know what this is called-=20
forgive me)
3) Some people claim the tender included is wrong, but this picture shows a=20
squared tender, as the model comes with. =A0Some pictures of Pacifics that I=
