1931 Lima long haul tender help needed..
#1
I have been tossing the idea around of building one of the CNJ's heavy Mikes. In particular # 903. I do have some nice pics of both sides of the engine, but I could use some better pics and or drawings of the 6 axle Lima built tender that they used. I do have some basic dimensions, but a more detailed set is needed before I can start. I have heard of a Lima loco historical group but have not been able to find a way to contact them for help.

Here are a few pics of what I am going for. Both pics show the 21,000 gallon - 24 ton tender behind the subject that I am planning on modeling. She is almost 49 feet long and stands 14 feet high at the coal bunker and 12 feet at the cistern.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
