styrene tender for live steam engine

[kstrong]

 No worries at all. I've got a styrene tender behind one of my Ruby kitbashes.

I think plastic will be fine.  I've even heard of a 15" gauge live steam locomotive with a plastic tender... although it was probably Lexan or something other than styrene.

My Aristo live steam mikado has a plastic tender, along with the cab/boiler shell. I see no problem, it's back away from the heat after all.  Granted the Aristo may use a special kind of plastic, it seems pretty hard, have not messed with the tender any though, so it may just be regular plastic.

Would it melt? Maybe it's a stupid question...All it would hold would be r/c gear.
