"TENDER TUESDAY"

[e-paw]

Hello all and welcome to this weeks edition of Tender Tuesday.

today I would like to post a quick review of probably the most extensive tender project that I have tackled. CNJ's 21,000 gallon - 24 ton long haul tender.

My first interest in this tender showed up in this thread.

Most of the early pics from this thread have disappeared into Big Blue purgatory during a server change, but I am reposting the pics here.

It took the combining of two tenders to pull this one off.
   

   

Rear details.
   
Interior bracing.
   

Under side details that were a best guess from another Lima tender that I was able to climb under and get a few picks of.
   

I have a few more to post but they will have to wait till next week.
