Off-road Tenders

[nw-modeling-list at nwhs.org]

Brent: Read my post carefully. The 111 got the B&LE tender. Picture is 
on page 10 of my N&W in Color book. The C&O(PM) tenders were practically 
identical to the NKP Berk tenders, available in plastic from John 
English Hobbyline (mid-1950's), AHM (Rivarossi) and later, Walthers. Now 
part of the Proto 2000 heritage series. The ACL tenders were done in 
brass some years ago with the ACL 4-8-4 (Overland?)       Jim Nichols
