| All,
Did the D&RGW C-16 tenders have wooden frames with steel plating over the top for the tender subframe or was it all steel?
I have an Accucraft C-16 # 278 and detailing for a more prototypical look.
Thanks,

| Timber chassis with timber tender deck and steel welded and riveted tender shell for Bee #268, 1949.
Check Tim Mulina's book for details. Probably a good thing your engine has no tender, the Acc modern tender was way off for Both #268 and #278!..kinda hybrid for both, #268 styling and #278's size.
David.

| Fletch,
As always, you come through.
I'll check out Tim's book.
Time to start cutting and distressing.
Thanks,
Marc | | | |
