Bob-

The 500-509 seem to have been delivered with the original full coal bunker USRA short tender.   The coal bunkers on some of the engines were cut and moved inward retaining the partially curved top contour; on others and/or later  square sheet versions were used.   I don’t have too many photos of the originals….some of the later engines had clear vision coal bunkers that extend past the top of the cab and, in contrast, some have very low tenders with fairly short clear vision bunkers.

The NWSW view may show a C&NW tender; they had similar ones (not sure if they had the braces along the sides).

NSW used all kinds of combinations on tenders used on their ex CB&Q and later ex GTW 0-8-0's.  In later years they used KCS tenders behind their GTW 0-8-0's.

The Q had 10 original USRA 0-6-0 locomotives, numbered 500 - 509. I found a photo of no. 504 after it had been sold to Northwest Steel and Wire for scrap. They used it as one of their plant switchers for a while. In the photo, it has an unusual tender coal bunker which matches a Sunset O scale model that I recently purchased. It is not the standard USRA tender and it is not like other modified tenders on Q USRA 0-6-0s. Here is a link to the photo at NWS&W.

Does anyone know where I can find a photo of the same locomotive while it was in service on the Q? I would like to confirm that the tender, as shown at NWS&W, was also used by the Q so I can use the model as is.

BTW, the photo in RR Photo Archives is, for some reason, for sale right now on EBay. It may be a copy.
