A tender bachmann moment.(new vandy tender review)

I wrapped several loops of tape around the front of the drawbar loop to keep the post all the way at the back, it helped greatly, but I would still like it to be a little closer.

but boy what a difference the new tender makes

Is the new Vandy tender longer than the one you removed? If so, how much?

Thanks.

yes

11 feet, 36ft old vs 47ft for the new one

 

I had too, after I ruined the original a year ago

Is the boiler painted a sort of pullman green or is that just the way the light hits it?
