Streamlined K2 tender?

[NW Modeling List]

The 129 appears to have the original trucks from A #1200 - Commonwealth trucks with roller bearings and regular journal box lids.    They are definitely Commonwealths and not T27s nor T40s; the maximum journal size for this truck was the T40's 6X11s, and the K-2 tenders required 12 6 1/2x12s.  Any comments, Jim N?

There appears to be a difference in the rivet pattern along the bottom horizontal rivet row. Looks like different trucks, too. #129 looks like it has the N&W style 6 wheel tender truck (T-27?) and #125 has a Commonwealth(?) style truck

Some K2's had rebuilt 22,000 gal. roll-top tenders (extra rivet-line and body seam where water space was squared off and raised) and some had new build 22,000 gal.  (no extra seam)  You would need to look at pictures to figure out which was correct for a certain loco number.

  Does anyone know the detail differences of the 2 tenders used on the N&W streamlined K2s?

  PSC is offering 2 tender version on their K2 model.
