Very nice! Too bad it doesn't say Ohio River and Western :) Robert Richardson said once he'd been sorely tempted to use one of those magnetic signs on the old one. Stainless ought to keep that in good shape for a long time. |

Indeed, that tender does look good (as does the whole locomotive)! I find it particularly interesting that the shops at Strasburg went so far as to reproduce various patches and repairs to the tank. Which brings up the question--would some of us consider this appropriate? After all, if a railroad was to replace a tank, they would just build a new tank (not bothering with the replicated patches); in some cases the tank would have been welded (with no rivets at all--as on at least one Shay at Cass and on EBT 17). So, is it "right" to build a new tank with replicated repairs? Or perhaps more appropriately, when is it "right" to build a new tender that looks like a new or replacement tender, and when is it "right" to build a replica tender that looks like an old patched tender? |

That depends entirely on who's writing the check. |

The frame was also constructed in our shops. Some of the hardware and trucks are more or less all that remains of the original. |
