Hi Guys:

I'd like to know what the largest slope back tender you've seen is, in model form?

Add a picture if you can. I want to replace the tender for my Rivarossi U-4A heavy 0-8-0 Switcher with something allowing better reversing visibility but still larger than a say Mantua "Goat" style swither tender.

Thanks,
Gareth

Santa Fe had a rounded back tender. I can't remember what they called it though.

That would be a whaleback tender. I never thought of those but that would work for an engine as large as an 0-8-0.
