I picked up An early MTH RK N&W Y6B and wanted an auxiliary tender to go with it. I just couldn't justify the going rate for such items so I tried my hand at making one. Years back I picked up a couple of the Lionel separate sale whistling tenders, swapped out the frames for some starter set tenders so one was a perfect candidate. I cut out the coal load, laid in some styrene sheet trimmed to fit inside the sides and around the water hatch. The treads are actually cut from sanding sheets, added a ladder and acostume crystal for the back up light lens.
