Reply to "Lionel 257 with 8-wheel tender?"

It's probably possible that there were a few un-cataloged sets that featured a 257 with the eight wheel 261t tender.  Maybe the new Greenburg volume II will talk about it!!  I will be fine as is.  You could also find a 4 wheel tender pretty easy.  Take a look at your loco though, if it has double reduction gears, they are probably the notorious fiber and brass gears.  The fiber is the outer gear part and they seem to become brittle and come apart.  That said, some seem to stay in good shape.  All metal reproductions are available if needed though.  You can also get a glue on replacement cow catcher as well.

BTW, Nice loco Fred!
