I posted this in LOTW last year. Its coming along nicely got the pilot truck and swing arm adjusted properly. Scratch built the arm and truck is from a Mantua 4-6-2. Tender is by Mantua as well. It'll get a new tender hatch. I have yet to install the back up light and ladder. I installed wire railings as appropriate. It'll get new paint and minor details like a uncoupler levers and hand rails. Sure is a smooth runner!

I think some came with a cast brass oil tender. I got one with the engine. Could be wrong.

That's it! Someone converted it into a oil burner tender.

Then Justin you got the right tender. You cant miss the old fashion chucky bronze casting. The same as the locomotive boiler casting. Good luck and I hope you will get to finish your bronze mountain.
