There was another faux pas re this device on Ebay a few years back. The seller...obviously a bubble or two off of plumb on railroad knowledge/terminology...had one of these listed making note of the "cowcatcher" underneath. I found the auction early one morning doing a quick search of new auctions. I mentioned it on the Forum. Later in the day the seller corrected some of it, but apparently not the auction title..."...LIONEL-POSTWAR-2046-WHISTLE-TENDER-W-COW-CATCHER-SUPER-CLEAN-..."
Poor cows...and a hobo. Tough way to go, that's for sure!

Loooking at the picture, isn't the scoop on the tender backwards? The drawbar is to the left, the scoop seems to be facing to the back of the tender, not the front, wouldn't pick up much water with the scoop facing like that I would think....
