Bachmann HO Irish models

Can anyone advise me whether the Bachmann "Irish railway" sets sold in the US are actually HO, as the boxes say, or are they identical to the models of the same stock sold here as OO?

I'd imagine what their referring to is the wheel and track gauge which is HO regardless. All off the shelf track sold as OO scale is in fact HO scale and only the body shell of the locomotive is HO or OO.

The coaches in the pack are Bachmann 57' Corridor Composites, and can be resprayed to match to get a longer rake without paying through the nose for collectible coaches.:tumbsup:

I don't think they carried the front steps. I've also noticed that there was a ladder on the rear side of some of the tenders

 

To access the oil tank when oil firing was all the rage.

 

BTW I think I may have spotted a vitually complete oil tender tank over the weekend now serving as heating oil storage.
