Streamlined K2 tender?

[NW Modeling List]

I can't get access to the images on my server, so can't comment on these
pix; but the photo of 123 in Prince's book has the commonwealth trucks with
regular journal box lids, so that is probably what Ed has identified on 129.
And, yes, they did have roller bearings behind that friction type box lid.
And yes, there is a difference in the rivet pattern on the bottom row. On
the rebuilt (F) tanks it is straight. On the new (E) tanks it hops up on the
front part and a little hop up over the rear truck, same as on the later
class I tanks.   Jim Nichols

The 129 appears to have the original trucks from A #1200 - Commonwealth
trucks with roller bearings and regular journal box lids.    They are
definitely Commonwealths and not T27s nor T40s; the maximum journal size for
this truck was the T40's 6X11s, and the K-2 tenders required 12 6 1/2x12s.
Any comments, Jim N?

There appears to be a difference in the rivet pattern along the bottom
horizontal rivet row. Looks like different trucks, too. #129 looks like it
has the N&W style 6 wheel tender truck (T-27?) and #125 has a
Commonwealth(?) style truck

Some K2's had rebuilt 22,000 gal. roll-top tenders (extra rivet-line and
body seam where water space was squared off and raised) and some had new
build 22,000 gal.  (no extra seam)  You would need to look at pictures to
figure out which was correct for a certain loco number.

Does anyone know the detail differences of the 2 tenders used on the N&W
streamlined K2s?

PSC is offering 2 tender version on their K2 model.
