    First a pacific with standard tender. [​IMG]
    Then use the vandy tender from my mogul!

    This is why micro-trains should make vandy tenders! Heck, why not just produce more steam! They did such a great job with the mogul. I know myself and others would love to have those vandy tenders to use. The only thing they could do different is to make a larger tender. Heck, the small one still looks good to me regarldless.

    Yes, I like he Vandy's, and it's too bad nobody makes them for sale. I think an MTL tank car is a good starting point for the kitbash though. I will get around to doing some eventually.

    I know it sounds like I am begging a manufacturer to do them...in a way I am! :D I kinda feel like if more people can see it, perhaps they too would understand. By the way Robert, this is that rare circumstance where the SP and the NP shared tenders. They do that on my railroad. [​IMG] Totally ficticious, but still looks good!

    Joe:

    The vandy tender is a big improvement. I have many Vandy's on the JJJ&E. Most of them are running behind 2-8-2's.

    Those are excellent photo's BTW. Very nice detail on the drivers. [​IMG]


    Stay cool and run steam...... [​IMG] :cool: :cool:
