2259 has a modified layout with a Jones tach (know that isn't right)

It just seems strange to have the same SW gauges everywhere except the tach where there is a hodgepodge of Smiths, Sun and whatever else. My assumption would be that they all had a common tach then they were replaced as they failed by whatever was in the "parts bin".

Thanks,

Ron - from what I've read, regular drivers of particular cars had their own preferences for tachometers, so they had the original fit SW replaced with their favourite brand.
