Hi Ron,

The problem I saw was that the tender obviously did not match up to the engine it was packed and shipped with.

This is  a pic of the L1's cab road number 520,

Ron by any chance do you have an index cross reference of Pennsy steam engine road numbers to engine classes?

Ron

#520 is correct for the L1, built in 1916 and retired in 1957.  It currently is on display in Strasburg.

#9630 was one of the five L2 engines the PRR kept.  Bought in 1919 and scrapped in 1948.

I assume you bought it used.  Maybe the other owner also had an L1 and accidentally swapped tenders when they were sold.
