| The tender looks like it's mismatched, so you probably have two different locos there. From the detail, it looks to be a late 60s, early 70s release. Hope that helps the search, I'm sure Ray would be a big help here.

I think Shaygetz is right,I've never seen a Pacific with a slopeback tender before.
It is pretty neat though,kinda like the RR put it in switcher service insted of scrapping it.

I think it is a Tenshodo locomotive. And agree with Shaygetz about the tender.

| after going over a tenshodo pacific and my loco they are very different items,on body and frame,so will still be gratefull for any info,this loco started life as a kit and was never painted before the red paint job,and most if not all tenshodos were factory painted and had closed gearboxes ken

It's true, an Espee Pacific wouldn't have a shifter slopeback tender. Nice loco, whoever made it.
Ken, just how many locos do you have? (I'll give you a few weeks to count.  )
