The new O-1-As received the tender underframes from the from the O-3s and M-2s/M-2-As that got their tenders lengthened and rode on the new underframes that Baldwin had delivered under the O-1-A tenders.

Nevermind...I got what you said now (I think).  The underframes were swapped to the O-3s or M-2s with the new tanks.  Were the O-1s then given the old O-3/M-2 tenders?

Cheers!

Hol, don't you mean that the underframes were *not* swapped out?  Wasn't that the intention, to fit the new tank on the already-long-enough underframe?  Or maybe I'm misunderstanding your comment...

Cheers!

In 1923 the ever-frugal Q was planning to increase the water capacity of a number of its O-3 and M-2/M-2-A engines by lengthening their tenders, so it had Baldwin deliver new O-1-A Mikes 4940-4999 with tender underframes long enough to fit the lengthened tenders of the O-3s and M-2 engines.  The underframes were then swapped out as the lengthening was completed.  Which means most of the 4900s ran for at least a short time with the back porch tenders, and I'd love to find a photo showing that.  Charlie Vlk, didn't you once tell me you had found such a photo?  Attached is the builder's photo of 4942, confirming that it, like 4994, came from Baldwin with the long underframe tender.
