Model Train Journal

Don't ever recall seeing a tender like this.

Looks like a homemade replacement.

Looks to me like a Vanderbilt gone amiss. I think the $119 is optimistic unless it is part of something rare, to which I'd say it's not.

I have one a whole lot better than that (less trucks) that I consider "junk".

Mayhaps I can get a photo and post it here when we get back from this trip.

Dave,

Any idea what ilk it is apart from junk?

Rich

Home from the trip, gotta meeting, maybe this evening I can get the photos on a larger monitor and pick out something identifiable.

short time on this computer....nice rivet lines..semi-tinplate wheels...AMT coupler (tinplate), lots and lots of solder.

I'll save and blow up the frame later...may have started with something there....maybe even a tank car to get the rivets...and went off the deep end from there.

but it's only 109.00 and rare

I'd rather have the duck..........hold the mango salsa.

Can't come up with a specific tank for starting point. But, I will say, the dual row of rivets, carefully spaced for the hold down straps (!) that stop at a requisite, consistent distance from the frame center sill is indicative.
Of what?
That, based upon the high quality and adherence to any specific prototype the rest of the model shows...the same guy did not do the tank rivets.

Turner.

errrr.....

Opinion.
