The TYCO Pacific is very impressive. What roadname?

It is Southern Pacific. I bashed a wrecked Tyco tender and an AHM tank car into a Vanderbuilt tender. The link under the first photo shows some construction photos.Ray

I'm not enough of a steam buff to fully appreciate your locomotive (although I did recognize some add-on parts) but that tender is phenomenal! [:O] I humbly bow before thee.

Ray, Did you make the stanchions on the tender or are they adapted? If there was a good method to make stanchions I think we could use them on our Tyco GPs, Alcos, and such that we don't have kits for. Are the rivets added or pushed through the other side? [;)]
Thanks Alco Fan

I did make the stantions as a matter of fact. I formed loops on the end of some staple material I got from a cartridge for an office staple machine. The rivets were all original. The top of the oil tank is a side section cut from the old Tyco tender. I do have a rivet embossing tool I made but I didn't use it on this model.Ray
