I just wondered if anyone else has a collection of spare tenders.   Like many here I maintain a large "spare parts box" of old stuff and, well, spare things, among which are sixteen spare tenders.  For some reason I love tenders and love to mix and match them sometimes, even as I have almost no interest in cabooses - not sure why, but . . . most of these tenders work - three Legacy, three have modern but conventional electronics and speakers in them, etc., two are Railsounds, two  others have working speakers, one has a tiny motor that  spins air into a pump for a horn sound.   I'm not sure why I have them but I love having the whole bunch.

stray tenders at the moment, for a project. I see hyou have at least one Marx one on the roster.

The Marx is a spare and the only extra tinplate tender I have.  I had my Dad's mid 1930s wind up Marx set but it is uch too precious to me to every run, so I bought a full set of the same on e-bay and cleaned up and converted one loco to electric so I can run it from time to time.  I bought a extra tender just in case.  

Those are neat spare tenders, Lee

Tenders, box cars and cabooses are about my favorite rail cars, so I feel it's fun to have spare tenders.

I have one spare 2046 tender and another 2046 tender, to a set, of which I installed back-up lights in both, since they are exactly similar to the 2671 back-up lighted tender.

The three lens ports, in the 2046 tenders' rear walls, are open for installation of three lenses.

Also, I have coupler/draw bar adapters, to add extra tenders in a train consist.
