#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.

Ron,

Not used bought from Jimmy in Homer City, Pa.  He took it back and refunded me.

To the best of my knowledge Mike/MTH nevr made a L2!??

Now thanks to you I know why that 9630 road number kept resonating with me.  And I have the K-Line Pennsy L2 #9628 not a bad representation of the 9628.  The tender Jimmy sent me with the L1 is in fact the same tender shape as this K-Line L2.

Thanks so much for jogging my memory.
