Saddle Tank = no tender.I have the Spectrum 0-6-0 saddle and it will span the dead frogs on Atlas # 6 turnouts but just barely.  So if you find a way to pick-up from the third axle you should be in business.One word of warning though, a lot of Atlas turnouts have high frogs.  That is, the frog is just a fraction higher than the adjoining rails.  With only a pick-up on the drivers, an 0-6-0T will rise on the frog and loose contact.  You have to file the frogs down so that the drivers do not rise off the adjoining rails.Good luck, -Johnp.s. An 0-6-0T is a great test engine.  If it does not loose contact anywhere then you know everything else will run fine.
