I NOW HAVE A TENDER, ALL IS OK NOW !!! a tender for my Reading C1 4-4-4. The original Mantua tender form the 1950's is for a pacific and not the 4-4-4. Would anyone have a Mantua camelback 4-6-2 or 2-8-2 tender as it is still not correct but a lot closer to what was used. This is not a part I need to fix a engine to sell. This is a project kitbashing I have been posting here at Tyco forum. Frank toptrain

Gareth ; thanks for the try. It isn,t close . It is a standard Reading Camelback tender. It was used on a few different Reading types. I am trying to get this one . It is a similar CNJ tender. I'll use Reading tender trucks with it. Frank

Handsome little Tender there. So who made it Frank?
Tenders have their own appeal. It wouldn't surprise me mightily to hear that someone collected mostly or just Tenders!
