Reply to "Lionel Postwar Tenders - Coal and Fuel Oil"

The GTEL turbines of the Union Pacific used auxiliary tenders with bunker c fuel oil

Totally different application as they are not steam locomotives and the original single unit turbines had a limited fuel supply onboard. 

The "Big Blow" turbines carried no bunker C supply in the A (cab) or B (turbine) units.   The A units carried diesel fuel for the hostling diesel and for starting the turbine in the B unit. 

Also, in all turbine applications, except for double ended #50, the UP used ONE tender for fuel, not multiples.
