Y6b ho scale tender

[NW Modeling List]

This may  not be the most helpful suggestion in the world, but why not 
use this as an opportunity to develop some scratchbuilding skills? 
Tenders are pretty simple, and styrene is very easy to work with.  You 
may find that you enjoy it, and an entirely new world of possibilities 
will open up to you.  Before long, you'll be able to laugh at $1000 
locomotives, while you build jewels that rival them for looks, run like 
Swiss watches, and cost 1/10 the price.

To encourage a friend to try scratchbulding, I've challenged him to a 
friendly competition, to see who can build a better caboose.  We picked 
something we can each use, and we'll let our wives, and maybe the guys 
at the local hobby shop, decide which they prefer.  Winner gets bragging 
rights, and we both get a scratchbuilt caboose and a new set of skills.
