Re: [CBQ] O-5s With M-4 Tenders

This is a O5b.  Try again.  Find an M4b tender.  Don't think there weren't any!

Louis,

Here is your what if of an O-5 with an M-4 tender. 

Looking at the folios for the two the M-4 is 5 inches longer and 3 inches shorter in height. The O-5 caries 27 ton of coal and the M-4 caries 24 ton of coal, so I am not sure it would have saved stops.

Charlie and All - There was a recent post about a proposed third set of never constructed Class O-5 4-8-4 types that would've been equipped with long range tenders similar to those on Class M-4 2-10-4 type locomotives. Can someone in this Group who is proficient with PhotoShop try and take some builders photos or other broadside photos of each class and see what an O-5 with an M-4 tender might've looked like. Sounds interesting.... Certainly would've cut out the need to stop for coal and water other than at division points thus increasing what today's railroaders call "velocity." Best Regards - Louis
