BLI & Bachmann J comparison photos (big file)

[nw-modeling-list at nwhs.org]

The flat tender deck on my BLI 613 matches up well with the tender deck on 
my factory painted Key 611.... with one exception; there are several rows of 
rivets across the deck on the BLI tender.  These rivets on a flat tender 
decks match-up well with my PFM, PSC, and Key late version A's and Y's. 
Were there rows of rivets actually on the tender decks of 611-613 or were 
the seams welded like their tender's sides and ends?  All the tenders for 
Y's and A's were of rivet construction.  Looks like BLI may have created a 
hybrid tender?  Later this evening I'll look through my 611 slides and see 
if I can find a top down tender shot to verify welded or riveted decks on 
611-613 or at least 611

Fully welded tenders with flat decks on 611-612?

Welded sides and ends with rounded, riveted decks on 600-610?

Fully riveted with flat decks on the tenders of  late Ys' and A's?
