[CBQ] Oil Tenders

["ptrckhoman" <homanfamily@fuse.net>]

 I am seeking information, especiallly photos, of the tops of the oil cisterns 
on the FW&D/C&S tenders.  I have an 0-1a I an converting to an FW&D E-4.  THere 
are a number of side views in books but no top views to correctly locate the 
details and related piping.  I made some detailed photos of #303 at the Wichita 
Falls museum several years ago when I was allowed to get on top of the engine 
and tender.  This is clearly a cistern that was fit in the coal bunker  I need 
information on the larger locomotives.
   I am also looking for infomration on the oil fueling facilites for these 
engines.  Living in the East, where coal reigned, makes it difficult to 
accurately model the Denver Road.  
    Finally, I know that the Q regularly "borrowed" locomotives from one their 
subsidiaries, when then needed extra power.  Were any oil burners from either 
the C&S or the Denver Road sent East on temporary duty?
  Thanks for any information.
                                   Pat
