I have an early MTH RailKing 30-1118-1 Pennsylvania Tornado. The tender has the "Zinc Pest" problem, and has rotted away.
I would like to put a new body on the tender, as the loco still runs really well, and I frankly like it.
*** It can be a raw "aftermarket kit" as far as I'm concerned - I can get appropriate paint and decals.
What tender bodies can folks recommend for replacement, since MTH is done?

I've already been searching eBay. I'm looking for a more specific recommendation, as I don't want to get one that won't work.
I have other MTH steamers (Hudson w/Proto 2, N&W J w/Proto 2) that their shells won't fit on this chassis with Proto 1.
I had success. The Lionel 2046T was a 100% perfect match.
I replaced mine with the shell from a MTH Pennsylvania bantam S2 6-8-6 tender. Fit perfectly. Just doesn't have all the fancy stripes on it but looks and works great.
