Key Class K tenders

[NW Modeling List]

Hello Roger,

There was one 16k tender with a straight frame and two 18k tenders, a 
fish belly frame and a cast "water-bottom." Key modeled the Class K3 
with the 16k tender and modeled the Class K1 with two tenders, the 18k 
water-bottom tender and the ex-C&O/PM 22k tender.

Other than the fish belly frame added for the extra length and load, the 
18k fish belly tender looked like a stretched 16k tender, confusing some 
model builders. Custom Brass took the 18k fish belly tender behind their 
Class Y3 model and tried to bash it into a 16k tender by simply putting 
a (long) straight frame under it for their Class Y2[a] model. NWSL did 
the reverse, putting a (short) fish belly frame under a 16k tender to 
look like an 18k tender for their late Class E2a model.
