Is this a whistle tender?
What engine is this and does anyone have spare trucks for this one?

Looks like a 2466WX with the rear most railings missing. This is a whistling tender.

The easiest way to tell is to look at the bottom and see if you have pickup rollers. If they're there, it most likely has a whistle. Also, the number should be rubber stamped in white/silver in somwhere on the bottom.

The best I can tell from you picture, the engine is a 2036. Most parts dealers will stock the leading and trailing trucks for it.

Now this looks like a FUN project!! Parts are easily obtainable for this engine. If you need the part numbers, ask on the forum (Ihave them somewhere.). Hope you have fun with this engine.

I restored one a while back. It took a little tlc but it runs and smokes like crazy now.

I had a problem with my drum, it would hum and not move then pop the circut breaker on the transformer. In case you have the same problem it is the drum ($1.25 for a replacement). Hope you can use the info
Good Luck!!

Actually the tender is a 6466 and may be a 6466T which did not have the whistle. First check to see if you have rollers between the wheels. If not it didn't have a whistle. A whistle could be added though.

The 2036 is a good engine, BTW. Not too expensive, but a nice, steady puller. Runs smooth and it's reliable too. You'll enjoy it once you've got it back up and running.
