Ken - I've searched through my digital image file for a similar fireman's
side view of a coal burning O-5-A with enclosed cab that you could PhotoShop a
M-4 tender to. Try either of the attached images. 5622 is shown on the
Galesburg deadline in December 1956. 5625 is shown at St. Paul, MN, on May
29, 1940. I'm not so sure a "modernized" O-5 would've had spoked
pilot wheels such as on 5625, but if any one else in our Group
has a similar coal burning enclosed cab O-5 image with solid pilot wheels
taken more or less at the same angle as "5666" was created,
please share with Ken and the rest of us. Best Regards - Louis

Charlie - Now if Ken can PhotoShop some ash pans on to 5662's oil
burning firebox and remove the stack heat trap flap, we'll have an even more
"convincing" rendition of a proposed but never built coal burning
O-5-C....or may be if enough modern appliances and mechanical
engineering were involved, an O-6.
For a Lines West oil-burner, Ken can leave 5662's fire box and stack flap
alone, but would have to erase the coal in the tender and replace that with a
safety stanchion as seen on the Q tenders fitted with oil bunkers. Always fun
to speculate on "what might've been" if the FTs hadn't been so d---

All-

little late but Great Job on the O-5 with M-4 Tender Ken….. I cobbled
together color photos of the same but the result was nowhere as convincing
as your work!
Thanks,
Charlie
