I decided to start with the tender, as it will be a quicker job than the locomotive. The Ms-4 tender was basically a stock USRA 10,000 gallon tender, as is the Williams model, to which they added a dog house flanked by walk boards, and over time an extended coal bunker. I ended up cutting brass tube to get the curved shape of the raised bunker (after failing in my attempt to make them out of brass bar stock). The dog house is a PSC D&RG K-27 kit (plastic!), modified to closer match my prototype. The walk boards need to be cleaned up and painted, but the tender is more or less ready for the paint shop.
