The Westside has an elesco feed water heater in front of the smoke stack.
The tenshodo also cost about twice as much as the westside (at least on what I paid for them) so you have to weigh the cost of what you're comfortable with versus detail. The tenshodo is also already painted.
The westside gives a very nice running engine with nice detail plus a nice caboose thrown in for a reasonable price.

I just noticed this series of nice photos. I'm a bit curious though about that model with the Worthing Type S Feedwater System, as I dod not know that DM&IR ever had any of their M Class yellowstone delivers that way. I can only remember seeing photos of the Elesco equipped locomotives. Sure are nice looking models!
