I thought it was too.I'm using one of the MDC ? Roundhouse "Old Time Tank Cars" to modify the tender to a Vanderbilt. My plan is to use a can motor in the tender, and a universal drive, almost identical to the 2-4-4-2.
The decision to use a Vanderbilt tender, has me thinking more seriously about a boiler mounted water tank.
much like this Standard gauge 2-6-6-2T w/ Tender.
Lead engine cylinders have been enlarged for exhaust steam operation ( compound/Mallet ).
Realized that I have to run to the Hobby Shop, I need NWSL gearboxes !! :o for both "engines" :o
We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
