As John Mitchell mentioned, this was not an exclusive Q design. In fact I 
strongly suspect (without doing a lot of digging) that the first ones acquired 
by the CB&Q were the T-1s received in 1908. These were actually Great Northern 
engines 1905(1st), 1906(1st) and 1907(1st), but were held over in Chicago by 
the CB&Q when they were being shipped to GN and renumbered as 4000-4002. I 
think it's interesting that when Overland built their models of the F-2 
(rebuilt from T-1s) their model had a tilting coal bunker that worked.

There is a good view of the rear of a somewhat different design of tilting 
tender showing the cylinders that activated it on page 208 of Steam Locomotives 
of the Great Northern Railway.

  I was cleaning up a builder's photo on O-2 5248 which features a tilting coal 
bunker, presumably the forerunner of the coal pusher.  The questions are: Was 
this design exclusive to the CB&Q?  Was this designed by the Q's Mechanical 
Department?  Was the mechanism steam or air powered?
