Looking for a Specific Tender
#20
** Frank here : Your tender looks like, but isn't the same. You have a european version of the same tender. Your coal bunker slants down towards the front. As to the tender length it is very close to right, but long. Your distance can be determined by looking at the tender trucks. The type they are and the distance between them. On the riverossi the tender length is not a good match. It is to long.
** Model die casting made a low side PRR tender. It with the Bowser bunker extension would be a good match. The tender on 3674 is low sided. The photo shows 3674 is used mostly a switcher due to it's small fuel load.
** As to the coal bunker being to long, you are right. Now every coal bunker on all the photos posted are wrong with the exception of your photo. CP's 2-8-0 #3674 has a coal bunker with slanted sides. Bowser makes a brass extended coal bunker with slanted sides for the PRR B6sa. It also is used to make the low sided tender into a lines west tender for K, L, & I class locos. It may be correct for your model. If not make one. it is the easest part of that tender to make. Don't let the floor scare you. That is also easy.
Good luck ****** frank

(PM me if interested)
The old Tri-Ang pacific had a similar tender (before they replaced it with a Flying Scotsman tender) that looks good repainted in CP.
