2226w tender

[Ribdoner]

Good morning, just a quick question about a 2226 w. I was wonder what this might be worth, it is in between good and excellent shape, and after a little cleaning works loud and strong. My 2013 Greenberg's doesn't list it. It list the 226e but not the tender.

thanks

I don't think you will find info for just the tender alone. Most stuff is for engine and tender when it comes to steam engines. I have the 2010 Greenberg's guide and it don't list the 2226W either as being with the 226E. Either somebody threw the engine and tender together to sell it or you have a very unusual combination, I think it is somebody throwing something together, unless you have just the tender by itself. I can not say what it would bring being by itself, unless you find somebody looking for that specific tender.

I am confused. The 2226W tender certainly does belong with a 226E. What tender does Greenburg list?

The 226E also came with the 2226WX tender, which had couplers at a different height.

 

I have yet to see a price guide with prices for tenders without engines.

Your tender, if it is 100 percent original, and in excellent condition would probably bring over $100, perhaps significantly more. Your best bet is to look on EBay for completed (sold) auctions for 2226W tenders in similar condition. Unsold auctions are meaningless, as are one or two auctions with prices that are significantly different than other auctions.
As always, condition and originality are critical

Greenberg's doesn't list a tender for the 226e. As far as I know this is the tender that came with the engine. My dad bought this new some where around 1938. According to the 1938 catalog  the 226e came with the 2226w in the # 193w frt set and also sets # 191w and the 190w passenger train. Not sure which set he bought, as we have all the cars from all three sets.

Why are you asking about the value of the tender alone?
The prices shown in any price guide are for the engine and tender combined.
While engines are commonly separated from their tenders on Ebay, they are traditionally sold together.,

Just curious.  Mostly because my book didn't list any tender with the 226.

I have a book Lionel Trains, Standard of the World, edited by Donald S. Fraley which lists a 226E with a 2226 tender with 12 wheels.  Loco was made from 1937-1941.
