Bachmann has 2-3 versions of the N&W J. The fantrip J comes with the extra tender. You can always buy the tender as a separate item.
I'd like to see Bachmann put their motor in a boxcar frame. It would be the first cheater boxcar.
wow, up to 1,000 posts.
I thought that Bachmann Spectrum did that with their N&W Passenger Js- you get an additional auxillary H20 Tender (unless this is another manufacturer I am thinking of).

I've got one of those, and it's not as RARE as the seller claims it to be. It's a Rivarossi model that was possibly sold by the thousands around 10-15 years ago. I don't remember the exact year that I bought mine, but it was available for quite a while.
Well, then you should do it. Buy an engine with a tender, and then get an additional tender. Get some paint and decals and go to town.
Y'see, that's why Model Railroading can be so much fun.
