A tender question regarding a photo in the latest Arrow

[NW Modeling List]

Are there any accurate HO scale models of these B&LE tenders (brass 
or otherwise) that could be used to correctly model the N&W engines 
that received these upgrades?

In 1953-54, the N&W purchased secondhand nine 22000-gallon tenders 
that had been used by the Bessemer & Lake Erie on its 2-10-4s. Of the 
nine the N&W got, one was applied to a K1 and the other eight to 
Y3a's. The 2061 had tender number 220304 which it received in January 
1954 at the Roanoke Shops.

In the new issue of the Arrow, at the top of page 10, there is a 
photograph of Y3a #2061 leading a coal train.

The tender of this locomotive has a very different look to it, 
compared to other N&W tenders I am familiar with and have photographs 
of (for comparison, just look at the one behind Y3a #2070 at the end 
of the train in the lower picture of that same page)

Can someone please identify the tender in use behind #2061 in the 
upper photograph and perhaps supply some history as to its origins?

Sincere thanks for any and all responses.
