"TENDER TUESDAY"

[e-paw]

Happy tender Tuesday

Today I have a request of our members.. I am looking for any info on the steam connections that go from the tender to the passenger cars.

I have a pic of one as an example here...
   

I was able to dig up a little info on steam heating equipment from this link .

What I am really after are things like a manufacture name, and how standard they are from one railroad to another.. That kind of stuff.
Any help with this would be wonderful. Thanks a bunch.
