[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by ragnar Kemtron also made a Union Pacific centipede tender in kit form years ago,they show up on ebay ever so often. [/quote] ' I have several of the old Kemtron, but they are not correct for the Challenger or Big Boy. The Kemtron is actually a 23,000 gal tender for the FEF-2 and FEF3's. They are shaped different near the top of the water portion. The Riv UP FEF-3's use the same larger 25,000 tender that is correct for the Challenger and Big Boy. You might find one of these from the first run Riv FEF-3's, as they did not run well and some tenders might end up available. Overall, they do look alike and many are used incorrectly. The Riv tenders for the Challenger and Big Boys were available separately about four years ago and many of those have been on Ebay. Some dealers might actually have the coal version in stock. They made them available in both coal and oil versions and would be exactly what you need. I would try Trainworld and some of the other large dealers to see if any are still on the shelves.
