It's Ralph again. <br /> <br />I was back on line to crestline.pennsyrr.com. I found the picture of a tender hooked up to the derrick. For some reason, when I typed the above I would not get in. It said page could not be found. However, that is what the site kept giving for an address. If you use http://crestline.pennsyrr.com/wrecktender.jpg.html, it will open to the picture, don't leave off the jgp.html. <br /> <br />If you get in to the site, wander around in the photo gallery. There are some great pictures in there. <br /> <br />I have only been back into model railroading a short time, but it seems that railroad tenders were, like many other pieces of equipment owned by railroads, turned into other pieces of useable equipment whenever possible. Example: page 7 in a book titled "35 Modelbuilding Projects" by Walter Olevsky a tender is converted into a signal maintainers headquarters. They show a picture of an actual car as changed and picture of kitbashed car. I have seen pictures of tenders used in many different ways, just as they recycled passenger cars and boxcars they recycled tenders too. <br /> <br />Ralph
