E-paw's Get off yer duff Challenge - Part I
#60
Thanks all, I did number this tender as the smaller engines did not normally swap tenders around on the SH&D. Tender swapping was reserved for road engines on the Anna lines where it served a more economical purpose. I actually can swap tenders around to a certain extent, but normally don't, for fear of scratching the paint or braking off some detail part.
The Reading and CNJ took tender swapping to an art form, changing tenders around frequently. This was normally done with tenders of different capacities for engines of the same class. Things like different Stokers, if they had them, and if the engine was equipped with a feed water heater can effect what tenders are compatible with what engines. Also lifting vs. non lifting injectors can sometimes factor in .
