Why do it have a crew tender?

dont worry about the missing smoke deflector, this engines also ran without them.
the tender cab was for the conductor on goods trains to save a caboose!
this engines where coal fired by hand but few of them where oil fired. - Erich

Great picture Erich. That is the way I recieved mine when I got, except for the one smoke deflector. The other tender I got a couple of years latter.

Hi Frank!
The tanker is from "Liliput" another great Austrian manufactorer. This one was also made in Vienna!

"A lot of modellers out there who go to these train shows see broken HO stuff and go, 'This is useless' when, in reality, they can still be used for modeling whether it's as a prop on your layout or a cool project to make something old new again."
