Thanks Wayne. I think this massive locomotive looks neat with that little tender. The enginemen on the PRR often complained that the locomotives designed and built at Altoona were magnificent but unable to perform to their full potential due to the size of their tenders. The M1 was one of the first classes on the PRR system to address the problem on a large scale with long haul tenders, but not until many were fitted with restrictive tenders like the one I retrofitted to 6743.

I was amazed at how much effort was involved with the pilot swap. It is not a modification I will be likely to repeat.
