Re: AF to scale - SSL&S Hudsons - B&A RRM tenders

Mike,?
? ? ?I have one of Claude's SSL&S Hudson conversions. Will take an inventory of the parts and send it to you over the next few days.? The key, at least in my opinion, is the time spent filing the boiler.? I recall reading years ago that he produced upwards of 150 of these kits.??
? ? ?On the subject of B&A tenders, I stumbled across a photo in Mopac Power, written by, as you well know, the late Joe Colias, patron saint of all things Missouri Pacific.? In the chapter on Mikes, there's a tender that appears to be virtually identical to Rusty's RRM tender, on Commonwealth 4-wheel passenger trucks, being pulled by an Alco-built 2-8-2.? I suspect the design was far more common than we realize.? I then consulted my file of MP Mike photos.? Yep, numerous MoPac Mike's were paired with a very similar tender.??
