That one of yours is definitely a Tyco. Had a junked one as a kid, and wanted to do the same with it. Not sure whatever happened to it.
There are a few such converted tenders on the Narrow Gauge still in Chama, New Mexico.
Right now I have two Vanderbilt tenders not in use, plus a sloped back one or two. A project like this could be a good use, but sometimes at train shows you can find a junked loco without tender for dirt cheap. My 4-year-olds like tenders. So maybe having a few extra on a train could be a good thing.
