Need brass PFM N&W 'A' tender

[NW Modeling List]

Ed,

Thanks for the detailed tender info !  I looked into a few sources I  
have and it looks to me as if I can use any brass 'A' tender, through  
I would prefer one made by United/PFM. I could also use the tender  
from a Y-6b, through I would have to change the Buckeye trucks for  
Commonwealths, not a big deal. Again, I would prefer a PFM.

I was hoping that someone on this list would have a spare tender  
floating around that I could purchase, but so far, that hasn't been  
the case, so I'll watch eBay and see what happens.

Thanks,
Dave

tenders from any of the imported brass J’s including the J-1’s have  
smooth welded sides.  None have doghouses.



Precision Scale Models imported 22k gal tenders individually that  
would work with Y’s or A’s (later versions and not cheap).  I’ve seen  
these PSC tenders from time to time on eBay and likewise hit and miss  
with Brass dealers (it’s been several years since they were  
imported).  Beautiful models.  You never know what may show-up on  
eBay but a tender from either a PFM A or Y would meet your needs.   
Much less likely to show up would be tenders from Key, PSC, or  
Division Point A’s or Y’s………… but with eBay you never know.  Also  
simply doing various web searches for N&W HO Brass locomotives and/or  
22,0000 gal tenders (try various wordings) will sometimes surprise  
you with what shows up.  Again, you never know………



Look at the tender and locomotive drawings and pictures on N&WHS web  
site   http://www.nwhs.org/ -  http://www.nwhs.org/archivesdb/ 
rollingstock.php?RRSelect=N%26W+Rwy&CatSelect=Tender .  There are  
many pictures and drawings of N&W tenders to assist in a continuing  
education on N&W tenders.

Dave,
If you need photos of this tender, I can take some images of my PFM.  
(it's unpainted too)

All,



I just got a PFM N&W 'A" 2-6-6-4 'basket case'. I can fix the bent  
and missing parts, but it came with a GEM C&O tender - not even  
close, so I need the correct tender for this model.



Does anyone have one to sell, or know where I can find one ?



There was a Gem 'J' tender on eBay, and I checked out how close it  
might be. Oddly it appears to to the right size and shape, but is  
missing the doghouse (not a problem), and rivets (big problem).



Any comments on N&W tender commonality, or variations in 'A' tenders ?



Thanks,

Dave
